Hi there, small time new reefer from Texas here. I started with a 2.5g Coral tank which got me hooked and now I'm in an 11.5G with 2 Mocha Clowns, emerald crabs, serpent and brittle star and some snails. As far as corals I've got a big Duncan colony, some GSP, Xenia, Toadstool Leather and Hellfire Torch and I think I'm finally pretty dialed in on my care and everything is looking great. I'm really getting the itch for a bigger tank now, and my wife supports it but man the idea of dropping all that money is intimidating haha. I think for right now I'll just continue filling out my nano while I learn more about how best to proceed with a large tank.

Glad to meet you all.
