New to the hobby

Hello all, new to the hobby here. I live in Miami and love to go snorkeling in the reefs, especially in the Florida Keys. It has itched already for a long time to have a piece of the ocean in my living room and finally last week pulled the plug and bought a used 190 gls tank, with sump and some equipment. I am doing research while the tank is in the back of the house, empty, before I fill it out with water and start the journey. All excited and terrified at the same time, a lot of info to process before start making mistakes. There are many guides, all different, yet it seems most succeed. Hopefully everything goes well and I have mine up and running soon. I will be asking a lot of questions and will appreciate your support.
That's all for now folks, on to do some more reading, and if you have any suggestions, feel free.

 

Welcome to the forum! Great to have you here

 

Welcome!!!

 

Welcome... that's a big tank to start with, so don't put too much into it for a year or so, until you learn all the basics.
