I think the title of this thread is quite fitting, for a couple of reasons. I am not exactly a "newbie" to keeping reef tanks, but I typically feel like one. I am constantly making mistakes, learning as I go, and often "chasing my own tail." Further, I feel like a "newbie," as I am just as enthralled with the hobby as I was when I started my first reef tank. I can still sit for hours just staring at my tank, amazed that such a beautiful system exists in my own home. I consider the critters in this tank my "babies."
I frequent R2R almost nightly. I don't post a lot (if at all, really). As I feel like a "newbie" most of the time, I typically just read whatever I can in an effort to "learn how to do this right." I do appreciate all of the information everyone posts. I continue to learn a great deal from you all. To thank you, I figured I would show you the fruits of your labor. Most importantly, my "babies" thank you. They would not be the same without you.
Fortunately, this is not a photography forum. Otherwise, I would be banned for the horrible photographs I am about to post (if I can figure out how to post a photograph, at all). I do hope you enjoy.
