Hello Forum!
Introducing myself, my name is Francisco. 21-year-old guy from Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. The past few years I have been reading a lot of information on this forum and other ones about fish keeping but never had the time to create an account and be part of this. I am currently finishing university and that gives me more time to enjoy the hobby.
I started keeping fish when I was like 8. Started with goldish, as everyone haha! then moved to cichlids and then planted tanks, never thought of reef tanks because here in DR, the hobby its just starting. I always saw the incredible videos on youtube of people having this beautiful reef tanks but for me was impossible at that time.
1 year ago someone sent me a random message saying "I know you are interested in keeping a saltwater tank, I have a friend that is selling a 30-gallon cube 3-month-old with one clownfish and one blenny, you want it?" and that's how I ended up here.
I have like 4 months now with a 60 gallon tank 36x18x20 under two Ocean Revive T247 ( ill attach some pictures.) you won't believe me if I tell everything that I have done to get some fish and some corals down here, even "importing illegally" from the states to get some pieces. But now I'm glad everything is getting established, we have like 2 stores in the whole country and they usually import everything we ask. I'm putting the effort in trying to know people who have saltwater tanks, like visiting the stores, when I can, and trying to talk to people who have interest in Saltwater tanks, and I have known a few that has beautiful tanks and that makes me happy.
Thank you for taking your time reading this, you have a friend here whiling to learn!
