Hello, I'm new to Reef2Reef but I'm not brand new to the hobby. I grew up with a 55-gallon freshwater tank in the house and that's where I learned to love fish keeping. We eventually converted the tank to saltwater, which was a whole different ball game. I got my first 20-gallon saltwater fish tank at 12 years old and after about a year of learning how to keep saltwater aquariums, we moved from the east coast of Florida to central Alabama. After we moved I waited a while to set it up again but now I've been back in the hobby for a little over a year and a half. I currently have a 20-gallon saltwater tank, a 10-gallon reef tank, a 5-gallon freshwater tank, and I am soon going to be setting up a 15-gallon reef tank. I am a teen hobbyist and after learning my way around fish I have decided that once I leave high school I want to pursue a career in marine biology. Thank you all for having me here!
Edit: Pardon the question mark at the title of my post, I didn't double check it before I posted. :face-with-tears-of-joy:

Welcome! And that's exciting about your career choice!

I'd love to see some pictures of your set ups!

Welcome from another central Alabama reefer. Not many of us, but the Alabama saltwater folks are super nice!

I tell ya, you are gonna be SCARY GOOD at this when you're older! My first serious attempt was in my mid 40s. I bet you will have an in-wall 800g tank by the time you're in your 30s! Anyway, great to have you here! Welcome to our home away from home!

Hello and Welcome to R2R! I had a friends daughter, who is a marine biologist, visit at my house and all the questions she had. I couldn't answer some of them. I try to keep the system as simple as possible and change water every two weeks. Having a 180g I feel that the system maintains itself with the husbandry that I perform. I haven't checked levels in the tank for over 2 years
