Hello everyone!
My name is Jay, and I am new to reefing, started in October with a Red Sea Nano Max and now just upgraded this past weekend to the XL425. Been planning to since January and finally did last week. Took 2.5 solid days with my Bro in law who’s been a Reefer for years, he has me hooked. Attached are a couple pics from when we started on Thursday, been up and running for a few days. Didn’t realize how involved, complicated and costly this hobby is but I’m loving it! So far the number one thing I’ve learned so far is you must have patience which I have none haha but good things come to those who wait. Happy to be on the forum and looking forward to seeing everyone’s tanks as well as my own grow. Cheers!
