Hello everyone. I have wanted a saltwater aquarium for years and decided to just go for it. Got tons of help from YouTube, especially the brstv channel. But also asked so many questions to the people at my local aquarium shop 😅. I already have dozens of additional questions and thought it'd be best to get involved here! For now, take a look at my setup 🙂. I used glow in the dark paint on the back for those galaxy dots, and yes the lights charge them! I have two clownfish and a diamond goby for now. Thanks in advance for all the advice and shared knowledge.

Welcome to Reef2Reef! I tried to do the same thing with glow in the dark paint in my freshwater tank but it didn't work.
