New to the website sort of new to the hobby. I kept freshwater fish for years and after a few year break from fish keeping switched to saltwater aquariums 3 years ago. It has been great! I have two tanks, a 15 gallon water box cube and 25 gallon lagoon. I had a 32.5 gallon but it busted during the ice storms in Michigan in 2025. But I got two tanks out of it instead of one.

15 gallon peninsula waterbox:
- Was the emergency replacement tank. Has all the rock from my 32.5 that busted. Also has an Aiptasia problem but Nudibranchs will be in tomorrow to fix that. Stocking is as follows:
1 Normal clownfish
1 Orange storm clownfish
1 Watchman Goby
1 Yellow Clown Goby
1 Emerald Crab
And multiple snails and hermits, as well as 2 bubble tips, some pulsing Xenia, green star polyps, a candy cane coral, and some zoas.

25 gallon lagoon NUVO:
- new tank, has my more expensive corals and fish
1 Black storm clownfish
1 Mandarin dragonet
1 hectors goby
2 harlequin shrimp
2 strawberry crabs
1 Lettuce nudibranch
Has a torch, a frogspawn (hosted by clownfish), the start of a zoa garden, a monti, and a goniopora. Also has an Aiptasia problem but that will be fixed tomorrow. Also have a good amount of nuisance algae but everyone is happy and I’m working on algae solutions. Currently battling a potential zoa spider outbreak (waiting for ID). And those are my tanks!
*second picture might be cloudy. Added in some new sand to the 25 gallon today.
