New to reefing!

sharpvet · Mar 14, 2021

Hello!
Totally new to reefing and enjoying it so far! I have had a 55 gallon fresh water system since I was a kid and now am trying whole new world! I have a waterbox 130.4. As far as equipment I am using the Apex system, with Neptune ATO, return pump , Leak detectors, dōs for auto water change etc, I have the Octo 150 int skimmer. 2 eco tech MP 40s, and 2 ecotech radion gen 5 blues. I don’t live in a city so I’m am gaining as much knowledge as possible from YouTube, BRS etc. I live over an hour away from any saltwater aquarium LFS.

My tank is very new and I’m currently in the diatom bloom stage. Excited to grow some coral soon!
