Hey guys, my name is Matt. I'm new to reefing, but I've had a freshwater tank for a while now. After upgrading my freshwater setup from a 10 gallon to my old 29 gallon tank (Previously used for my gecko) I found myself looking for something to put into the 10 gallon. I'd wanted to get into reefing for years and decided to take the cost now that I have the means to do so. Bought live rock and sand from my LFS and got a light and a powerhead off of amazon (Not the best stuff, but I'm planning to upgrade my setup further down the line). Set up an RODI system in my basement that seems to work well so far. I started the cycle on my 10 gallon on Monday May 12th and am looking forward to the process. Pictures of the tank right now attached. Excited to see where it goes from here.
