I knew this wouldn't be easy...

I've already posted my algae (maybe?) problem but wanted to say hi and I knew this wouldn't be easy! I have had freshwater most of my adult life and decided I really wanted that reef tank. Talked hubby into this nano 15g (not knowing bigger is better in this hobby) to prove I am worthy of that larger tank!

Experiencing my first serious outbreak of something (suspect: dinoflagellates). So glad a place like this exists for people like me.

Share pics and don’t have shame. It happens to all of us. Perhaps it’s not even what you think. This stage early on is normal and most of us go through it
