First Reef... May the struggle begin

Struggle is a good word for it to begin with. Suddenly, after a few months of reading threads and asking questions, it all starts to come together. This is a fantastic place for information -- and a great group of people besides. Welcome! You are going to love it here.

Thanks again everyone! Today was a fun day for the tank, grabbed my 3rd fish, a Midas Blenny (someone needs to munch on some of this hair algae!!). He is pretty shy right now hiding inside my dragons breath. Did also pick up a gorgeous Cespitularia which I couldn't say no to! Cheers everyone

Quick picture!

I appreciate the kind words everyone! Sadly my research told me to expect the "no alibi" phase (cuz she ugly). I suppose I should reveal now that I am also not a bar back... or Tom Cruise. Just a lowly bartender who always had a thing for fish tanks. Cheers everyone!
Welcome to R2R!

There's only one thing to do when your tank is going through the uglies: good scotch and dreams of the day it looks as beautiful as your imagination allows;)
 
Haha, and of course it seems my blenny has now been adopted into the clownfish family! Hasn't left their side since he came out yesterday! Fish are goofy

Welcome to R2R! No need for it to be a struggle, just ask questions!

Patience pays off! No diatoms to be found!
