Hello from Texas!

Hi everyone, my name is Shelbi

I recently got into the hobby! I've always wanted a marine aquarium and a few months ago I went and got a 10g tank with my roommate with a freshwater aquascape in mind. One thing led to another, and it turned into a saltwater reef.. oops^^ We've been doing a lot of research and so far, even though its so small, we've actually managed to do very well! We have quite a few beginner corals and 4 fish (we just set up a 25g aquatop so they have more room soon). Sadly, the fish just broke out with some ick, but we hopefully caught it early enough and are treating it right now. We're going to use the 10g as a quarantine tank once the 25g is cycled. Anyways, I've learned a lot in just a about 2 months (we started at the very beginning of May) and I hope to learn much more here! Sorry for the long intro, but qnyways, thanks for reading! And nice to meet you!

Hi Shelbi and Welcome!

Glad you joined and sounds like you are off to a good start - even doing QT in your early days! Can't wait to hear more. Nice to meet you too

With those great photos, have you thought about starting your build thread?

I wished I had started my build thread sooner, but didn't know such a thing existed until I joined (after my tank was up for a while). I wish I had responded to myself so someone didn't feel they had to respond, as my build thread is a place for me to keep my history so I can go back and see my tank's evolution. Plus, when you start it and link it to your account (in your account button), they give you a badge, look left under my ID.

This is the info they gave me on build threads:
One fun way to learn from others and keep a record of your reef aquarium is to create your very own build thread! A build thread is just a thread that tells us about your aquarium and might include photos. You can create your build thread in one of these forums. MEMBER'S AQUARIUMS

Once you have created a build thread then you can get your VERY FIRST USER BADGE! YAY! It's easy to do and I have created a thread that tells you how to do it here: BUILD THREAD BADGE
