Thanks for having me!

Here are some tank stats:
(Please don't crucify me if you disagree with something, we're new and have done the best research we could and gotten advice from friends)
Please see my other post on my page for a few questions I have if you'd like to help out a beginner to saltwater tanks.

So we've had our tank since mid-February:
32.5 Gallon fish only tank​
Canister filter good for up to 75 gallons​
20ish pounds of liverock​

Fish- in order they were added:
  • First
    • Onyx Clown
    • Picasso Clown
  • Second
    • Long Nose Hawkfish
    • Watchman Goby
    • Springer Damsel
  • Third
    • Leopard Puffer(very tiny)
    • Royal Dottyback
Eventually we will turn our 75 gallon cichlid tank into a saltwater tank with sump, protein skimmer, etc.
I love the fish list! I’ve never owned one but have always loved puffers. Welcome!

welcome!!! I remember my first tank was a 10 gallon tank when I was 8 years old with lots of guppies. Somehow the tank always got upgraded throughout my life. I always joke if you feed them vitamins then they will grow.

Here is a video of my current reef tank which is now 10 years old:

@jk_s124 He is definitely my favorite! His name is Leo the Leopard puffer. His fins look like hummingbird wings he moves them so fast and he has so much personality. When you approach the glass he comes right up to you. Reminds me of a little puppy lol will attach a picture of him when I get home
