Hi I am new to the saltwater hobby, I have a Fluval 13.5g it’s been going for about 8 months. All the coral has been added in the last two weeks (it was my birthday recently my mother and boyfriend got my all my coral) I have always wanted to get into the saltwater hobby even as a kid but my parents weren’t ready to make that kind of investment so I did a lot of research over the years. Fast forward I now live on my own and with the support of my partner I was able to make the leap into my first tank. It’s been a great experience so far some ups and downs but nothing I haven’t handled thankfully.
