Hello and greetings from Italy.
I am Simone, soon 40yo married and father of two boys, 5 and 1.5 yo.
In the freshwater hobby since 1990ish, I got my first 60 liter tank when I was at primary school.
In 2021 after around 30 years I started my first reef tank, 670 liters-175ish gallons.
I will introduce it in a separate thread, but here is a picture as teaser!

Giglio, that is a A+ tank!! Can I ask what lights you are using and do you have pictures from the beginning?
Hello Jimmers and thank you.
Light are ATI Straton.
Great for growth, my acros grow also downwards, but honestly when I move corals from/to friends tank they don’t seem to perform as good as e.g. Radion for colors.
Attached a picture from day 1!

Welcome to our collective obsession! Oh boy. Someone from Europe! LOL, when you post, I'll have to convert to US's really backwards way of measuring volume and temperature! Italy is on my bucket list. Your country is SO cool!!!!
