First timer

So today I was finally able to hit my LFS “scenic cove in El Paso texas about 45 mins away” and got me some fish and a CUC!!! I’m extremely surprised by how smoothly my clowns transitioned to the new home, and seem to have paired already?!?! I had other clowns in mind but the stock they had posted online dwindled quickly, so I chose a standard ocellaris clown, and a black ice. They both are fairly small with the black ice being larger. I also added three bumble bee snails and three blue leg hermits. I’m thinking of a goby shrimp pair in a couple weeks!!

I just started on a build thread last week!

Nano Build - Fluval Spec III 2 Gallon Mixed Reef

I have failed at keeping corals in four past tanks. Two separate 5gallons, a 13gallon, and a 25gallon. Mostly due to my ignorance and, if I may call it an excuse, life in general. After 5 years in this hobby, I finally decided to join this community after seeing all the helpful comments and...

Have you watched this speech by Ryan at reefapalooza?

Its long, but well worth every second.
