I started my 65g tank on April 22 2020(only 55g water due to rock and sand) with dry rock and caribsea live sand ( about 2 inch depth). Added a table shrimp and used microbacter7. I tested temp,ph,sg,ammonia,nitrite and nitrates everyday until mid june (then once or twice a week)bought 2 clowns on May 20 2020 after spike went down and ammonia 0 nitrite 0 nitrate 5. My parameters have been Temp 79 Ph 8.2-8.3 Sg 1.024 ammonia 0 Nitrites 0 nitrates 5. I have also only used untreated well water the whole time ( I know). I have since added 1 royal gramma 5 coral frags 5 blue leg hermits 1emerald crab and 1 trochus snail. Thats where I am right now.
Welcome! Where do you hope to go from there?

Welcome to R2R and the wonderful folks, information and help.
Patience, it is the big word around here, Reefing is patience to cycle, to watch things grow, to keep your tank balanced.
I recommend to everyone joining to create a tank build thread.
1. You get to see where you have started and how much you have grown in this hobby.
2. We love pictures and to see what your doing with your tank.
3. It’s a great learning tool for all of us to see what works and doesn’t . We learn great stuff from each other.
Lastly the only bad question here is the one not asked...
 

A worm with high fashion and practical utility: Have you ever kept feather dusters in your reef aquarium?
