Hey all.

I’ve been researching reef tanks for about two years off and on for my kids’ dad to help him get his tank established and where he wants it. Well wouldn’t ya know, I got HOOKED (blaming Florida Ricordeas 🤣) and my first tank is now cycling.

I’ll make a build thread later but it’s a tiny 10 gallon all in one (ignore the 40 breeder beside it, that’s a different project). The plan is to stick with softies, a clown or two, a blue porcelain crab, and of course the cuc.

Can’t wait to see y’all around!

Welcome!

Love the rockscape. Softy tanks are always awesome. I have a hard time sticking with only soft corals and wound up with some LPS in mine too (acans and Euphyllia), but really want to get a soft coral only tank up and running at some point once I upgrade and can empty out a couple of nanos.

Welcome. Looking forward to seeing how this tank will look once you get your livestock in it.
