Never posted before and figured what better time to be able share and make some new friends. I've been in and out of reefing for 10 years (if not longer but i have had years between that i was not actively into it) and have recently gotten back into it and i am addicted! I currently have three smaller tanks (32 biocube/32 fluval flex/13 fluval evo) and im planning on upgrading to an eshopps mariner m130 and combining my tanks into one for better stability and ease of maintenance. My favorite corals are torches, scolys, and ducans but ofcourse i have fallen for gonis, bubbles, hammers and frogs! I mean.. who wouldnt?! Too many favorites to name honestly and i cant seem to get enough! My tanks are all primarily LPS with one or two easy growing SPS. Never had much luck with them but prehaps in the future! My tanks are full to the brim! And im excited for my future upgrade! ☺️ i love this platform and i have utilized it for many of my odd questions and concerns and look forward to being able to show off my beautiful collection! Also, Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!

Welcome and very nice tanks
 
Thank you! I have definitely had some struggles with them and sometimes it seems like i cant win. Recently, i battled BJD with my torches in my main tank and while treating the tank for that my lobos toke a hit and i lost half of my large colony 😔. I have also been struggling with a scoly in my other tank which seems to be slowly but surely dieing. Not sure why though as is appears to just be receding more and more as if something might be picking at it but i havent seen anything and dipping it resulted in no evidence of pest. Alot of lessons learned very quickly with the smaller systems thats for sure!
 
Welcome to Reef2Reef, the greatest community out of water!

Amazing looking tanks and your effort hasn’t gone unnoticed! Keep up that great work and since they are all packed, sounds like it’s time to upgrade!
 
Welcome!
Amazing tank - looks like you could teach a lot about reef keeping!

Need you to start a build thread or showcase on that!
Thank you! Im slightly obsessed with my tanks 😆 im excited to get a larger system here soon and figuring out the differences between the AIO nanos verses a larger tank with sump setup! I can say that i have experienced a full range of consequences and sucess through my current tanks but im sure theres more to experience!
