Seeing as how this is my first post, I will first start by explaining a little about myself, and give a little bit of background on how I arrived at this point.  I started my first saltwater tank on April 12th, just a little over a week ago.

Since I was a little kid, we have always had a freshwater fish tank.  There were talks of starting a saltwater tank at one point years and years ago, but it never happened for one reason or another.  I’ve always wanted to start a saltwater tank, and most recently thought it over for about a month, then decided to engage in this thrilling, spectacular hobby.

In the next few posts, I will talk about my setup and why I chose certain items.  I have several goals for this particular blog.  With this blog, I hope at the very least that I can do the following:

1. Learn more about saltwater creature-keeping
2. Create an atmosphere where others can learn from my mistakes, and vice versa
3. Keep a log of all of my saltwater aquarium activities (water testing, major & minor changes)

I strongly encourage everyone to post their own experiences and comments.  Spread the knowledge!
