Hi Everyone,

I am coming over from the high tech freshwater planted side. I've always wanted a salt tank and finally in the process realizing that dream. I've lurked here for probably two years and finally decided to make an account. Got some marco rocks on order from BRS and building a stand for a 25G Mr. Aqua cube. Hopefully in a few months, I will have my first reef tank up and running.

Won't be doing a build thread as I am pretty bad at documenting progress and updating. In the meantime, here are some pictures of my planted tanks.

First planted tank

Then I moved on to a 20 long and I bought an IM nuvo peninsula 20 thinking I would convert it to reef eventually....

That never happened, so my 20 long is staying planted and here's a recent pic. (Got rid of the cheap panel lighting above)

Welcome and hope all is well with you and family.
Them 3 tanks are stunning so bravo.my favourite is the middle one but first one with the tree effect is cool as hell ^_^
Hope you get great enjoyment from your saltwater tank and im sure your upcoming coral tanks be great ( thats if not going fowlr)
 
Welcome! Your planted tank is gorgeous! What are you running light wise? Do you dose?
Both tanks are running Chihiro WRGB2s. I don't really dose, I used to do a couple squirts of liquid fertilizer (Nilocg), but I was getting some excess nutrients. I just rely on the fish load and use some liquid carbon if I see algae forming.
