I’ve been a long time stalker never poster and finally made an account last week and will be going to get my first tank, some live rock, and a filter today! I don’t even have salt for the aquarium, but I’m hoping the live rock will be okay in the 5gallon bucket with the canister filter running on the 5gallons, for a few days maybe a week or 2.

I’m getting all this for a possibly too good deal from someone who is moving and upgrading.

I’m excited to do a peninsula tank similar to what Hadley England (Sydney Reefing on YT) has but clearly smaller. He’s also the person that got me excited to have maxima clams! I didn’t know you could do clams but I love the look of them and how they add to an ecosystem.
