Hi. I’m new into reef keeping and this hobby is pretty much low key in my country (Romania). Not a surprise since this passion can be expensive.
In my case I had the resources and last year I started my first saltwater tank, a 20 gallon AIO. Before that I was into freshwater fish and aquascaping.
I went with some easy corals both softies and LPS until I had everything under control, understanding water chemistry, importance of testing and aiming for stability. After couple of months of research and experimenting, dealing with a Favia that was losing flesh due to high nitrates in my tank (+50), now it started growing again and now all the corals seem to be happy and healthy.
I mentioned this hobby can be expensive and now I’m waiting to receive some crazy Rainbow and Bugatti chalices. I hope not to kill these animals but as long as I keep up with regular testing and water changes I think they will be fine.
Nice to see such a strong reef community. I’ll come back with some noob questions when it comes to Clowns keeping. I just got 2 Snowflakes and I’d like to breed them in the future, only issue is that they came in pretty large, having almost 2 inches and my fear is that they can be both females. Thanks everyone and looking forward to reading your comments and feedback.
