Thanks everyone!! Happy to share my progress and pass along things I've learned (both from my own successes & failures and so much advice on here!)Nice
Nice! I have a pixi hawk. Was the 15th fish in my 120. Very interesting fish and does not bother anyone.Meet the tenants: Please excuse the dirty glass. I'm keeping my hands out of the tanks until I don't have a cold anymore.

Haha well thank you! My son, who was 6 at the time I introduced the fish, named our spotted hawk. He has been "The Dude" since then. Except when I call him other, not so nice names when he eats my shrimp!Nice! I have a pixi hawk. Was the 15th fish in my 120. Very interesting fish and does not bother anyone.
I know the type you have can be problamatic from what I have read.
Interesting names also.
Almost all my rock was dry rock, except for a couple pieces that were already cycled by my LFS. The coralline just took off on it's own!Gorgeous!!
How did you go from white Rock to purple rock, so quickly? Impressive!
How long did it take from white to what you have now?Haha well thank you! My son, who was 6 at the time I introduced the fish, named our spotted hawk. He has been "The Dude" since then. Except when I call him other, not so nice names when he eats my shrimp!

haha Well the octopus and the mermaid are a set I'm working on *haven't touched them in about 6 months* and they were getting in the way, so I hung them where they will eventually live once I've finished them!Talk to me about the octopus painting! *heart eyes*
From when I started the tank in July 2020 to now is about 16 months of growth.How long did it take from white to what you have now?
It's very beautiful!

Thanks!!!I want that Octopus painting!! Amazing, great work.
And your naming convention is great. I was tickled pink to see a Trigger by the name of David Bowie!
thanks for sharing. i’m in charge of the blennys.Hi Everybody & welcome to my journey back into saltwater!
In July 2020, after about 15 years out of the hobby, I jumped back in!
I know many others have found their way back, especially with little or nothing to do during the beginning of the pandemic.
As a nurse, working 2 jobs, even during the pandemic, I was not one of those with little or nothing to do.
I was overworked, underpaid, and overwhelmed with anxiety and depression.
SO! I found this on FB Marketplace for $200 and said, let's go!
I started doing all kinds of reading again, joined FB groups and starting asking tons of questions and couldn't believe how much equipment had changed since getting out of the hobby. So I went ahead and "splurged" on the Tunze 9012 skimmer, a couple powerheads, a heater, and Fluval Marine 3.0 lights.
Ladies & Gentleman, I have since learned the importance of patience and saving up for proper equipment.
But! This is a learning journey for me and it took my mind off the dark cloud that had been hovering over my head.
This was July 12, 2020!
And seeing me come so alive with my new project, my then boyfriend who was supporting me mentally, emotionally, decided to propose as I dried my hands after adjusting my rockscape!
I missed the octo painting. I showed it to my wife and she said great talent. She has been an artist since 4.Today's update: Going to see if I can get some nice closeup shots tomorrow!
