Hi all!

Just wanted to make a little post introducing myself. My name is Nick and I've been an aquarium hobbyist for a long time and have had many tanks but they've all been freshwater, until a few weeks ago! I got a Fluval Evo 13.5 and it's about done cycling now. I'm preparing to make my first frag purchases and I'm pretty excited. Planning on duncans and a few zoas for the first purchase and maybe a birdsnest and something else in the future. I want to make sure to get what I want before it starts getting really cold :D I'm actually a coral researcher (focusing on their population genetics for my masters and planning to do the same for my PhD) so I figured it was about time to make my foray into reefkeeping so that I can better understand coral husbandry.

Looking forward to interacting with you all!
