Hello everyone,
I'm excited to be a part of this forum. I'm new to online groups like this, but I joined fishlore a few days ago and enjoyed participating there. However, I'm a saltwater guy so I wanted to find a community more focused on coral and calcium than mollies and rasboras. My girlfriend and I live in Shenzhen, China. Currently, I am keeping a 20ish gallon cube. I bought it used for $45! And yesterday, I paid $1.25 per pound for cured live rock. (China is the land of milk and honey for fish keepers.)
I've been keeping aquariums consistently for 20 years now. (I started when I was seven, and I've never been longer than a year or two without a setup.) I've been abroad for four years and this is my second aquarium in China. I'm looking to get back into coral. I have mid-level experience keeping LPS and other softies. I once tried SPS and it wasn't to my liking, but I might give it a try again some day.
Funfact: I've written two articles for Practical Fishkeeping. I wrote The Chinese Upside Down Aquarium in 2018 and The Last Dragons in China in 2019. Writing is my other passion in addition to fishkeeping. Sometimes the two cross paths.
I posted a photo of my "Fish Corner." Most people have a fish room, but my girl and I live in a studio. So I have a fish corner. I'd love some coral stocking ideas and any suggestions on smart or personable fish to train on my youtube channel.
P.S. if there's anyone here in Guangdong, I'd love to connect!
