Hello everyone,

Just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Thomas and I’m a small animal veterinarian who lives in the Gainesville, Florida area. I have had freshwater tanks my entire life and have always wanted to enter the saltwater world. I finally took the leap about 2 years ago and, of course, experienced the very daunting learning curve that we are all warned about (despite having an animal medical background!)

My setup is a 150g mixed reef. I absolutely love the hobby and reward that comes along with it. Despite having very little free time, I can always take moments to care for and enjoy the life in my tank. It truly makes me happy. I have very much appreciated all of the knowledge that is available on this forum and believe that it is invaluable to all who enter this hobby.

My livestock depends on me, so I keep showing up for them

I look for small signs that things are improving

I want to figure out what’s going wrong

I remind myself that rough stretches will pass...just keep reefing

I lean on other reefers for advice or encouragement

I simplify, step back from tinkering, and give the tank time

Honestly, sometimes I wonder if I want to keep going
