I’m Lexi, I’ve been reading the forums for a while and finally joined so wanted to say hi . I’m just getting back into saltwater after a probably 10 year break. Getting started with a 40g breeder to get back in the swing of things and relearn everything. In the next few years plan on doing 2 very large built in style tanks on each of my entryway walls to replace the 2 built in glass shelves/tables.

Welcome to Reef2Reef!!

40 breeder is an awesome size! What kind of fish or coral are you planning?
I was tempted to go much bigger but so glad I didn’t! The 40g breeder was the perfect size to get back into saltwater. Think I would’ve been overwhelmed with anything bigger lol. I’ll probably upgrade too 100g next year.

I love anything with movement as far a corals. Love the pulsing xenias, so got a frag last week at my lfs. It’s doing amazing and love the way it flows in the water. Just won these beauties from wwc on eBay. Missed a few I was bidding on bc I forgot about them lol almost lost the long star and remembered and checked and it was down to the last 25secs . For fish I have 2 black clowns and my daughter begged me for a damsel. He’s been nice to the clowns so no issues so far with it. Idk what fish I plan to get really. I’ll have to do tons of research bc it seems all the very colorful ones I love eat coral or are aggressive .

Let's see that damsel! They get a bad rap sometimes. My son's is a big baby.
My daughter named it princess Goldie . It is kind of a pearl color with a hint of yellow splash along the head. Was just listed as an assorted damsel at petco. It stole the anemone for the clowns though. Plan on getting BTA for them.
