Welcome to R2RHi R2R!
Longtime lurker here so thought it was time to join.
Recently finished my PhD in environmental engineering with research focused on water treatment and water quality, and I have always wanted a reef tank. I am very into all the different treatment/reactors that goes along with reef tanks (and aquariums in general) and am constantly learning new things from the innovations in this great hobby.
I started setting up my tank in earnest this January and have been slowly adding livestock. I have a 55 gal with 20 gal sump DIY-style. Currently have two ocellaris, yellow tang, six hermits (3 scarlet, 3 red/blue leg), two turbos, two astrea, one nassarius. No corals yet but coming soon. Can't afford super nice equipment coming off a graduate student lifestyle, but plan on upgrading slowly as needed when adding livestock/corals.
Measuring water quality and then obsessing over the implications is my jam. This hobby is awesome!
