Hello again, R2R! During quarantine, I have decided to get back into reefing. Digging through R2R again, seeing all the great tanks, and doing tons of research has been a really great way to keep my mind occupied and my stress levels down.

A bit of background on our intro to the hobby:
My wife got a job at the Boston Aquarium renovating the main coral tank, sculpting new coral reef. When the tank was opened back up the fish were so happy with the new reef that many of them spawned in captivity for the first time. We both learned a ton about coral and that biome and were interested in creating our own little reef world in our home.
