Hello

[RNiko218]

Hello everyone,

I am finally getting into the saltwater game after years of freshwater. The last tank I had was a 55gal cichlid tank which I loved and had for years. After the first batch of fish they kept on breeding so never had to get anymore lol. The tank was very low maintenance after the first year and only had to clean filters and top of the water the parameters were always good. So I hope down the road I will have this luck again.

I have decided to get a 210gal with the plan on softies and LPS. Waiting for the tank and stand to be delivered. I also purchased a trigger system sapphire 39 to pair it with. Always had HOBs so this is an exciting piece to look forward to and figure out. Looking at simplicity return pump and skimmer to run. My goal is to run two return pumps to lighten to workload of them.


Here are the sticking I am thinking about. The wife loves tangs lol

Fish:
-Yellow tang
-Royal Gramma Basslet
-Goby and pistol shrimp combo
-Cardinal fish
-Fire fish
-Clowns m/f two sets
-Chromis school
-Lipstick tang
-Achilles tang
-Bluestreak Cleaner Wrasse
-snowflake eel (down the road)


Corals:
Pulsing xenia- small isolated island
Zoas
Daisy
Toadstool
Torch
Duncan
Derasa Clam

Welcome to R2R!

A 210g is going to be a fun first reef tank!! I think you’ll really like having a sump too…

have you started looking into some of the ease of maintenance items like an auto top off system? That can be a daily hassle without one!

Convict blennies are the closest living relatives to cichlids. Wierd right

That is extremely interesting! Might need one for the trip down memory lane

I have started looking into ATO systems just trying to figure out my game plan for a controller when I want to make the jump. My plan is to start off doing everything manually. That’s how I learn going hands on and I wanna make sure that I understand every aspect of the tank before making my life easy.

Welcome to Reef2Reef!

Saltwater is kind of different. That shrimp and goby combo doesn't come with a drink.

It's gonna be a fun journey!
