I was recently introduced to reef tanks. I have kept fresh water in the past, but seriously considering getting started with salt water.
What are some beginner mistakes that I should avoid? I have done research and found a bunch of "how to set up your new tank" sites, but they make it sound like everything always goes according to plan.
I'm looking to go 40 breeder or 55 with a sump, and I don't mind doing some DIY to save some money, so I'm probably going to go for a used tank and baffles for the sump.
Any pointers for the new guy?
