Background:
Back when this pandemic first got started I bought a comet fantail goldfish and rapidly discovered the complexities of fish keeping. I gain knowledge and got to the point of buying a 55 gallon for my goldfish, as well as some buddies. It has been about half a year and I am not taking the next step into reefing and keeping a saltwater tank. Back on December 28th, I decided to repurpose my 20g long as well as its filter, heater, and some dead coral from Haiti to start a reef aquarium. Since then I have been doing research upon research to get ready for fish and snails, and now I am looking forward to coral and maybe even anemones. Now that I have fish in after a month cycle I would like to show off my work and write down my specs. This is in no way completed and I have a job interview in 2 days which will hopefully allow for upgrades and changes around the tank.Live Stock:

Future Plans:
Moving into the future there are many things I am planning to get, primarily new light.
I also really want to get some more rocks into the tank for better scaping.
As I said I want to get into coral and anemone so after this tank goes for a bit and I believe it is a good time I will buy my first coral!
