Fluval Sea Evo 13.5G Beginner Reef Tank

Fluval Sea Evo 13.5 Beginner Tank
Introduction
My name is Alan. I've been fishkeeping (mostly bad) since I was a kid, but seriously probably the last 5 years. I only got into saltwater about two and a half years ago. I became fascinated with corals while I was active duty Coast Guard and had the opportunity to snorkel and scuba dive in some very unique places (like Guantanimo Bay, Cuba!).
