Been on the fresh water side off and on since I was a child. Now with four kids of my own I got my first salty tank up and running. They have all had turns in helping out so that has been super fun to do with them. Have tasted some success and some recent failures. In which questions I have. This is probably not the place for it.

I have a Fluval evo 13.5 with some upgrades. I can already see myself wanting bigger! Someone from a Facebook group told me you gotta join reef2reef, so here I am!
My tank this far has been going since December.

Welcome to R2R!
 
Welcome to the community! Beautiful tank :D It's so cool that you and your kids can bond over the saltwater tank. Whenever you decide to go bigger I'd recommend looking at waterbox or innovative marine. Heck look at the blemished tank section on IM and you can score a really nice deal (I have yet to find the blemish in mine).
