Default A New Beginning

I am looking forward to starting a 20L reef tank. I don't quite know what I am going to fill it with....I'm very open to suggestions from 20L owners. I am doing a lot of reading right now so I can start this new adventure correctly or at least armed with enough info to make good decisions. Thank you all for the warm welcome and I look forward to actually seeing some symbiotic relationships in my 20L.

Well all I have to say is TAKE YOUR TIME! There is no reason to rush things or you might start on the road to disaster. Before I started I did a lot of research and boy am I glad I did! Learn as much as you can until you feel comfortable with the knowledge you have to start things right. Many people on here most likely have horror stories about mistakes they made when they first started out that they regret but have learned from (All part of learning process but if can be avoided all the better). Oh and ASK QUESTIONS! If you don't know something I am sure somebody else on here knows the answer or search hard for the answer. Something that helped me with my tank is coming up with a list of things that I wanted in my tank and then thoroughly researched them.
