Hey my name is Ryan. I'm a full time certified nursing aide and full time nursing student. I also like the ocean lol. I love my corals. I've had my 20 gallon aquajapan AIO cube for about 2 months now, mixed reef frags, clownfish, starry blenny, Melanurus Wrasse, mandarin dragonet and snails. Got my 10 gallon frag tank a month ago. Filling it with my favorites, mainly acans, mushrooms, and goniopora. I keep a close eye on my corals each day and am very sensitive to my placement in terms of flow and lighting. All of my corals are doing well and growing so I've been encouraged. I've always wanted a reef tank and I plan on expanding as I grow out my corals and creating a larger aquaculture system. Happy to be here.

Hello from Irvine!

Hey jimbhoy! How's Derbyshire? I spent a few months in Wiltshire a few years ago trying out for soccer teams (football clubs). Got some offers from some lower level clubs but ended up coming back to the states and pursuing nursing. I love the UK. I stayed on a Garden Charity in Chippenham where I worked in return for room and board. Now I got a 20 gallon and 10 gallon reef tank. Cheers.

Hey Ryan,
Glad you enjoyed your time in the uk. If I were younger I would love to live in New Zealand or Australia. Derbyshire I guess is good compared to some parts of the UK. Some lovely countryside.
Cheers.
