Hello everyone.
I grew up with my dad having lots of tanks and even a pond in the backyard. I grew up in Orange County California and the house we lived at had a 200 gallon pond with a waterfall and plants already set up so naturally my dad decided to look into it and filling it up. We had a few red ear sliders that could crawl out and roam around the backyard, some koi, a pleco, and a red tail catfish to top it off. In the house we had a tank with a Fahaka Puffer that was awesome to watch it eat or follow your finger around the glass. He also had a predator tank with some Triggerfish, a Yellow Tang, a Zebra Moray Eel, a Lionfish, a Brown Banded Cat Shark, and some others that I just cant remember.
Its been over 25 years since I've had an aquarium at home and a few months ago I got that itch to and knew I wanted to do a Saltwater Reef tank because it was something I always loved about all the bright colors. I've spent the last few months doing research and watching videos which lead me to here with all of you lovely souls.
I'm planning on moving back to California in the next year so I don't want to bother trying to set up a reef tank now only to have to tear it all down and try and move multiple states so for now its just researching until I can dive back in.
