Hello fellow reefers! I've come across so many helpful threads and great advice on R2R, that I figured its time to take a leap and join the community of addicts :) I'm newer to the hobby (8 months) and have gone from a 29 gallon with canister filter (newbie mistake), to 55 gallon with the 29 as a sump/refugium. My DT is lightly stocked with a few corals, 3 turbo snails, 3 hermits, brittle stars, and 4 smaller fish. I'm running 2 QT tanks (coral/fish only) that were recently stocked with 2 gobies, emerald crab and pistol shrimp. Coral dt has 4 frags. I look forward to all the knowledge and excellent advice you all have to share and hopefully passing that same knowledge to others in need. Thank you everyone, for the opportunity to be part of such an amazing community! Happy reefing!

Hello and welcome to the reef 2 reef forums!!! Very helpful guys and gals here ready to overload you with reef knowledge. Seems like you are off to a great start! We all learn the hard (expensive) way then we start to learn depending on our wants and needs.

Welcome!! Glad to have you here. :)
What made you part ways with the Canister?

The canister limited my media and macro algae capabilities, cleaning it was a pain and got my floor wet, and a sump gave me more control over my ph by allowing me to run a light over it at night. Now I have a safe place for pods to reproduce and feed my DT. A canister filter works, dont get me wrong, it just limits my capabilities and theres alot of debate about it being a nitrate factory.
