Hi Michelle and welcome! I started saltwater aquariums a couple of years ago and the club has been huge help to me in getting started. When I started, I didn't know anything about saltwater aquariums other than they were cool. Adam (posted above) suggested to me that go I go and look at some of the different tanks in the club. I found that all the members were more than willing to show off their tanks and explain them to me. That was a huge help for me in getting started because the equipment is very dependent on what you are going to have in your tank and how much time you want to put in on your tank. There are some, like Mark, who like to do tanks in a naturalist/minimalist style without a lot of equipment while other tanks like more equipment that let's them control and monitor everything on thing on their tank (love2skiutah is a good example of a high tech tank.) neither method is right or wrong, just different styles. Another thing that helped me was to look at the tanks of the month which you can find on the homepage. It shows pics of different tanks and what equipment they use.) Do you know what kind of tank you want?]]> Thu, 24 Jul 2014 17:41:57 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=72288&PID=570612&title=hi-everyone#570612 <![CDATA[Hi Everyone : Sorry, I saw two posts one to...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=72288&PID=570596&title=hi-everyone#570596 Author: MClark

All I have at the moment is a 75gallon tank and stand.....I think I would like to do LED's though cause it looks really cool on some of the youtube videos I've seen where you adjust the lights and different parts of the corals stand out.]]> Thu, 24 Jul 2014 14:15:20 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=72288&PID=570593&title=hi-everyone#570593 <![CDATA[Hi Everyone : Hi Michelle I run 2 hydra 52 led...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=72288&PID=570588&title=hi-everyone#570588 Author: Matt

Hi Michelle I run 2 hydra 52 led light fixtures and I love them. It took a little time to get them adjusted, but I love how cool they are. I don't run any fans or a chiller on my tank. I do run a heater and it comes on in the summer. My tank stays at 77.8 and I keep my house at 74. Heat was a big reason I went LEDs. I have great coral growth and corals look amazing. ]]> Thu, 24 Jul 2014 14:01:00 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=72288&PID=570588&title=hi-everyone#570588 <![CDATA[Hi Everyone : Cool, hopefully someone near you...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=72288&PID=570586&title=hi-everyone#570586 Author: Adam Blundell

Cool, hopefully someone near you will post here. Great to have a nearby friend to help out.

Or call Mark, he'll drive anywhere.

Hello Everyone my name is Michelle and I just got a used 75 gallon tank. I'm new to this hobby but am super duper excited to jump in. Can I get some equipment recommendations. I hear alot of praise and alot of skepticism around LED's.

Looking forward to getting to know you all.
