It was more than 2 years ago when I started filling up my first reef aquarium. I was new to the hobby and I had to learn a lot. As a non-German speaking outsider in Berlin, I was left to only research on the internet. But thanks to all online reefer communities around the globe, I was able to survive few minor setbacks and to come to a point where things are more or less stabile.
I still have the same system today, it's a mixed reef Red Sea Reefer 425. Under populated and without expected coral growth, but I hope to change that in the following year.
As a programmer by trade, I like automation and technology as much as the animals. I also like taking pictures, here is one:

Have you considered starting your build thread? I found its a great place to document my tank's evolution for myself. I started tank first then joined, so I'm still finding myself going back collecting pictures & updating historically as well as current state. Once you create your first post in your thread under Forum > Member Aquariums and link it to your account, they will give you build badge (look left, under my ID). GORGEOUS PHOTO!!!
