Hi everyone. So glad I’ve found you. I am kind of new to reefing. I used to have a reef tank 20 years ago and it seemed so much simpler then. But, maybe that’s because I had 30 lbs of Figi live rock to start my tank vs now. I have a 30 gallon cube thats been setup now for 2 months. I have 2 snowflake clowns, an indigo dottyback, and a lantern basslet, and a small clean up crew. I also have a single head torch that I jumped the gun on and added too soon and am now struggling to keep it alive. I want to add some coral, but obviously have some things to work out before adding anything more. I’m looking forward to getting engaged and learning.
