Hello all!

Just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Adrienne and I'm brand spankin' new to the saltwater aquarium. :) I just set up a 40 gallon to start cycling. My other creatures are two dogs, one cat, and a betta fish.

I do have some experience with freshwater, but it's only a bit. I became obsessed with bettas at a young age - I think I was around 11 years old. And then I decided to breed them. Which was a challenge with a small budget and only my bedroom to have them in. But! It was very fun, a great learning experience, and I succeeded. Had to sell them when we moved. I also had a goldfish tank for a few years. I honestly don't remember much... I guess being a teenager and schooling got in the way.

I always dreamed of having a saltwater tank. However, with school, no budget for it, apartment living, and lots more school... it was never the right time.

Until now! No time like the present. Super excited and I am looking forward to learning and watching the tank evolve and grow.

First goal is to keep the fish alive and healthy and the water stable!
