Welcome to the reefing jungle world. If I can help in any way ...reach out...
Thanks! I’m only 8 weeks in and already a helpless addict! Thankfully there’s not a square inch of space left in my house or garage or else I’d be starting a giant mixed reef tank already.
 
Hi everyone! I’ve heard this is *the* community when it comes to reefing.

I was at a PetSmart with my 9mo old baby (getting something for our cat), and he was so captivated by the fish that I knew on the spot I needed to get an aquarium.

I went to an aquarium store to get a nice setup for a freshwater tank, but the owner clearly saw me for the sucker I am and talked me into saltwater. I bought a BioCube 16, live sand, dry rock, and then absolutely lost my mind waiting for the tank to cycle!

I’ll start a build thread as well. Very early days—only had fish and snails for a week now, as well as an anemone that I’m annoyed about getting sold so early now that I’ve been doing my research to understand why it’s been so angry. The great news is my son LOVES to stare into the tank with us— watching him paw the glass trying to get our Tiger conch snail is super cute, and he watches our clownfish with a smile on his face.

Thanks in advance for all the advice and information, everyone!
