The Beginners Reef

The Beginners Reef website and YouTube Channel were created to help pass on knowledge, research, information, and tips to the beginner to saltwater aquariums.

Hi,
I'm Richard and when I first began my journey into saltwater aquariums it was before the time of the internet. The only way I learned was by reading books and taking advice from the local fish stores. Let’s just say my first saltwater aquarium was a flop!

I bought fish and corals that my aquarium was not ready for, I bought equipment that was junk and really did nothing, I had lights that lit the aquarium but did nothing to feed the corals. You name the mistake and I had made it! Why? Because of lack of knowledge and information!

Today we have almost the opposite where we have an abundance of information available at the touch of a button or finger, but that brings its own challenges – Correct Information.

This is why The Beginners Reef was created.
