New kid on the forum

[Greblhad]

Hello everyone! (or at least everyone who actually reads the meet and greet forums..) Im pretty new to the hobby and have had my new 20 gallon tall setup for about a week and a half now! I've read a lot on these forums before becoming a member to help me out and lead me in the right direction so I figured I would become a member and chime in with any of my own experiences as a new guy. Ive attached a picture of my tank from this morning. I started getting Green Hair Algae last Tuesday and I figure it will go away on its own with my CUC and water changes, I just hope it will go away a little faster. :neutral: Anyways.. Hi!

This picture is from the first day I set up the tank (8/16/13)

This is a picture from this morning. You can see it has grown quite a lot of things over the passed two weeks! (Also a few changes with aquascape.. but thats a forever changing thing anyways..)

Todays tank measurements:

PH: 8.4
Temp: 82
Ammonia: 0
Nitrite: 0
Nitrate: 0

Thanks! I cant wait to get some fish in there also. I am planning on starting out with a pair of Ocellaris Clowns. And yes I am planning on doing a reef tank. I probably wont add any corals for maybe 2-3 weeks after I add in my fish though. Im thinking my first coral will be a toadstool leather because I think those look awesome and I have read they aren't TOO difficult to keep.
