Just wanted to introduce myself to this awesome Reef2Reef community! I started my reefing journey back in August 2021, and it's been quite a ride since then. There have been ups and downs, but I'm stoked to say that my coral are finally thriving!
I took the plunge and started with a 125g tank cause everyone kept saying "go big or go home". Drilling holes in the back of the tank was super sketchy, not gonna lie, but I managed to pull it off. I did my own plumbing to a 40-gallon sump. I'm pretty proud of how it turned out, but I'm always looking for ways to optimize my setup. I am still battling algae and dinos. One day, I hope to switch to an automatic filter sock roller – fingers crossed!
I'm super excited to join a community of like-minded people and learn from all you experienced reefers out there. Here's a video of my current set up. I came into the hobby as a fish lover and I got sucked into all the coral madness!
