Hello, saltwater noob here

[Lab_Rat]

Just wanted to introduce myself. I'm new to saltwater tanks and looking to start a reef tank with my 24g Aquapod. I've been keeping freshwater planted tanks for years, but this saltwater stuff is a whole new ball game for me. I picked up a 24g Aquapod off of craigslist in June that came with live rock, sand, and some hermit crabs and snails. I've been letting it run so it can stabilize and haven't added any livestock yet. My plan is to go with a pair of clownfish and some easy corals to start with. I look forward to learning a lot from this forum.

Thanks! Is there a beginner's section to post all of my noob questions in?

Here's what the tank looks like:

I like the rock. The general reefkeeping section is fine for any reef questions you got.

nice rock stack you have going on there, lots of nice nooks and crannys. I also like the dual output that you have, woulda been nice on my BC 29 that I had. What do you have going on for filtration?

[Lab_Rat]

Thanks, the rocks have a lot of hiding spots for critters. Filtration wise it's whatever the Aquapod system is. I also shoved a polyfilter into the back compartment for some chemical filtration. I've also added a Koralia nano powerhead to the right side to increase flow.
