Hello. I just wanted to take a minute to introduce myself. I have always had freshwater tanks with a focus on south american cichlids. My son currently has about 6 freshwater tanks set-up in our house (10-75 gallons). Last year we got into saltwater with some nanotanks. We now have a 10 gallon saltwater tank that will become our quarantine tank as soon as our 200 gallon tank is ready for inhabitants. I am remodeling a room in our house and once that is complete the tank will be installed. This will be the largest tank that we have ever kept and I am both nervous and excited.

My small 10 gallon tank has live rock, 2-damsels, 1-royal gramma, and 1-clown goby. Plus 2 blue claw hermits and some snails. We have mint green clover and firework corals. Plus one witches brew mushroom and macroalgae. Slightly overstocked, but we keep a close eye on chemistries and health of the tank. We have a 2-in-1 protein skimmer/ATO.
 
Welcome to your new home for saltwater reef aquarium resources and fun! Welcome to the family! :D

Hello and welcome! 10 gallons to 200 is a big jump. You will love the extra space to add pretty much whatever you want. Good luck.
