Good day folks, long time lurker here.
I wasn't initially going to start reefing till the beginning of the year (the wife's approval;) ) However, doing my search for hardware in preparation, I came across what I thought was one of those I'm getting out of reefing marketplace deals, come take it all.
Well, come to find out it was a 16 month established 60 gallon cube with an abundance of livestock. Wife approved knowing to get to this point would cost considerably more than the asking price of $400.

The seller was patient enough to wait on me for a week to get logistics lined up and a plan to make the move from his place to mine, an hour away. Safe to say no harm or foul happened to the livestock. A little stressed, but everyone in the tank was pleased with their new home.

Its been 2 weeks and the only issue that has come of it is a mild case of dinos! YaY! So I had a plan of MB7, phytoChrom and reduce feeding to choke out the unwelcomed guest.

Any questions or suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for the warm welcome!

Welcome to the salty side! :P
Glad you could join us :)

I see lots of hardy soft corals so it looks like an excellent starter tank. Good size too.
What fish have you got?
I spy a pair of clowns, a couple chromis, a firefish, a dwarf hawkfish, and maybe a flashback basslet?
