Hello everybody!
I'm terrible with introductions as I never know what to say and usually end up rambling or oversharing haha.
I have wanted to start a saltwater tank for nearly a decade now, but never really had space or money for one until recently. I finally took the plunge and went for it last December. I'm starting small with a 15g tank. Sadly, I was a little overexcited and got a fish before I fully understood the way cycles worked(ugh). He's a six-line wrasse that I named Sushi.
My fish is a tough banana so he's survived my ignorance(luckily and mostly thanks to seachem products) and he's pretty happy(for now), albeit antsy because the tank is a little small for him. This is something I'm correcting by building a bigger tank for him. I found a brand new 37g on sale a month ago at the pet store and I've filled it up with some rock, ogo, chaeto, live sand, and a few places for him to hide. It is nearly through its first cycle. The goal is to one day get him a tank mate or two so that he's not lonely. Probably a clownfish or starry blenny.
You'll probably see me around asking a lot of dumb questions! Sorry in advance. I look forward to learning and growing with everybody here. This place sorta reminds me of a reef tank full of people in a fun way. Oh shoot, I'm rambling. Clicking post now!
