Hey all! I'm Chris and I started my saltwater journey about 6 months ago. I bought the helloreef 15 gallon clownfish and anenome tank. My current stock is 2 clowns, a high finned red banded goby, 2 peppermint shrimp, a few trochus, astrea, bumblebee, nassarious snails, and a few hermits. I also have GSP on the back wall, a stylo and 2 encrusting monti's on my upper rock, quite a few heads of frogspawn, a single hammer, 2 duncans, quite a few purple and green trumpets, a toadstool leather, a rhodactis mushroom and 2 separate zoa gardens. I also have a small but growing piece of dragons breath. I've added several bottles of copepods as well.

I figured I'd introduce myself after lurking for a few months.

My duncans look upset in this pic because I just did maintenence on the tank.
