Hi, from Romania

Welcome to R2R and the salty world. Your tank looks really good.

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.

It’s been some time. Did you get the two clowns figured out? Did they work out?
