We are starting a 180 gallon mixed reef. My husband and I have been out to the since 2015. So most of the knowledge we had had been forgotten. We've wanted to put another tank up since we bout our house last year plus we have a 5 year old so we think it'll be a good learning experience for her as well. If nothing she'll enjoy watching the fish. She is beyond excited already and everday asking we are getting fishies.
