Hi!
I’m Ash
38, from the Midwest, travel RN now taking a staff RN job in Virginia. Happy to be getting back into reefing. I had a gorgeous 40 gallon in my late teens, and am totally obsessed with sustainable reef keeping. Plan on big moves once we buy/build a house but for now have a 13.5 fluval evo with skimmer, hob refugium with plants and a ton of pods, 7 watt UV, and a good 3 inches of sand and 12ish pounds of rock, Red Sea 40 watt led, and ideal parameters. Didn’t have any algae blooms, which surprised me but I’ll take it.
one yellow damsel (the most timid and kind I’ve ever seen)
Spotted watchman (thought he died/jumped but now he and the damsel are buds?!)
False clown misbar
Coral shrimp
Cleanup crew
Dem clam
Various corals still on order.
all going well, very excited to be back at it, and to join the community here!
