Another lurker who's finally joined.. :)

Hello, my name is Jennifer. I've had freshwater planted tanks for 7 years. Dabbled in saltwater once before and my tank literally crashed in every sense of the word. The tank didn't make the move after the glass broke and I gave up on it. That was about two years ago. I've since started a new build from a Innovative Marine 14 gallon peninsula tank. Currently have a few zoa varieties and a crown leather coral. Planning on more softies.. and a pistol goby pair, because they're my absolute favorite!

Welcome to R2R!

Here's a pic from one of my favorite articles on reefkeeping, applicable to new hobbyists and old as well:

The nitrogen cycle is only the startup of a SW tank cycle. The next 6-12 months is a maturing phase, and it's typically in this time frame where algae outbreaks occur and things can sort of roller-coaster, and if you stock the tank up too quickly, you might see corals randomly dying & fish getting sick, etc...hobbyists can very easily fall into the trap of chasing problems = making more problems => giving up and selling everything off. We don't want that to happen to anyone!

Long-term stability and balance are the keys, and you just can't shortcut the process significantly. That's always the #1 thing to keep in mind!
