Used to be an African Cichlid nut and had to sell my tank when life had me moving all over the place. Finally settled down, grew some roots and got back into the hobby. Always wanted to do Saltwater, but was always intimidated. Ultimately took the plunge and so glad that I did.
Started with a 75g. Has been up for 10 months. Lots of challenges and made plenty of the rookie mistakes one can make in their first year but coming out ok. Ich. Dinos. I still here and loving it (Although both tested my resolve). From the outside the R2R community has been invaluable overcoming the ever present challenges of reef keeping.
started out thinking this would be fowlr system. Lol. How naive. All it took was getting a couple mushrooms from the LFS and seeing them under the actinic blue and I was hooked. Once my Valentini puffer established that he wouldn’t eat them it was on. used to think coral was just a garden but now I understand the addiction. The science only adds to the fascination.
