just wanted to say hello

[ARlite's reef]

Just stopped by to say hi! Ill post a full tank shot in a month or two to show where im at now, and another shot in 4 to 6 months to show where I wanted to begin my "end goal" for my tank. im using what most people dont consider serious gear and hope to also lower the barrier to entr(eef)y to the hobby to newcomers. Currently im getting my water purity and nutrient levels just perfect and trying to introduce more algae eating livestock to bolster my small clean up crew.

Welcome! What’s your current CUC like and who are you planning to add?

Welcome!

I'm not an expert, but like you I am on a budget. This is an expensive hobby for sure, but there are ways to minimize what you have to lay out.

One option is DIY, see this R2R link:

And another option is the R2R marketplace:

I've found a lot of my gear through the R2R dry goods marketplace linked above.

Best of luck!
