Hello R2R,

My name is Dean, and I'm happy to be a part of this community. I am new to reefing, but not to fish keeping. I have three large freshwater tanks where I keep community fish, Peacock cichlids, and fancy goldfish. I went to a local SW aquarium store, and I was blown away by the beautiful fish and corals. I didn't have much room for another long tank, so I decided to get the Red Sea Max Nano G2 XL 33 gallon tank. I've had a ton of fun researching, setting up my tank, and the tank is now cycled. I added my first two Clownfish yesterday. I am an organic chemist during my day job, and I enjoy the water chemistry needs and some of the cool tech that goes with reefing. I'm looking forward to interacting with you all as I continue on this journey!
