Hi, I’m McKenzie

[tniwkcm]

I’m new here. New to reefing.

2 years ago I bought my kids a 10g tank at Petsmart and some Glofish. A year later, I bought a 35g tank at Petsmart and brought home a few bags of Petsmart fish. Decided I’d try to “get into the hobby” and bought a Fluval canister.

Months later I found TruVu Aquariums, and ordered a custom 65g aquarium and became slightly obsessed with my red spotted gold severum and its tank mates, rummy nose tetras and pearl gouramis, glass lily pipes and making my own Repashy.

Everything I’ve learned has been via the help of ChatGPT and learning on the fly through making mistakes.

Now, I’ve ordered the Innovative Marine INT 100g complete reef system, and I’m here to learn all things reefing! I’m very excited

I’m welcome to all advice and help. Just please don’t tell me I bought the wrong system because, it’s a done deal

Welcome to R2R!

A note of caution, a lot of the folks here do not like AI, and it is prone to mistakes. Its fairly hard to protect against hallucinations.

Welcome to Reef2Reef!

You made a good decision coming here
BryanM summarized it quite well. I can recommend challenging the stuff LLMs tell you to do. There already is a lot of outdated information and anecdotal evidence-based "knowledge" within the community that can cause controversies. Letting AI make decisions based on such contradictory data is a recipe for disaster.

Enjoy the hobby!
