Welcome to R2R!!! Saltwater can be not that hard or extremely complex. The great news is that there is always something to learn and this is a great place to find many of those answer and to find others to cheer you on. We're glad you're here!
 
Lucky you - So close to the greatest Reef!!

Hi
I'm new here and to reef keeping. I live in Brisbane, Australia and have been into freshwater planted tanks and bred discus but this is next level. I've had a few people tell me it's easier than maintaining a high tech planted tank. I'm not buying it.

I bought a second hand aqua one mini reef 120 about two months ago which was supposedly cycled and had two clown fish. Appears to have had a copper treatment through it so I've been working to clear that including replacing the rock work.

Only have a couple of basic LPS corals at the moment, elegance, zoas, acan and gsp

Looking forward to building up my little reef and chatting with you all.

Cheers,
Sean
Hi Sean!
 
Welcome aboard mate. Your tank looks good.
Thanks @Captain Quint. I put some rock work together yesterday. Not as easy as it looks in the videos! It's a bit lopsided but I'll be putting an island on the right so that should balance it out a bit hopefully.

Welcome to R2R!!! You’ve come to the right place for all your reefing/ fish needs. Everybody here is extremely helpful & knowledgeable. I keep planted tanks also, reef tanks are definitely more involved & more expensive. Nice looking tank
 
Maaaaate. Nice tank. I’m new to R2R also and down here in chilly Melbourne. Lived in Bris-Vegas a decade ago (the last time I tried Reefing). Lots of really good LFS up there and nearby on the Gold Coast. Great forum community and great to see more Aussies.
 
It looks very good. Kick butt rock you have there
