New to reefing.

mwcasler · Apr 29, 2022

Hello everyone my name is Matthew. I recently just started a 75 gal saltwater tank. I've always had a passion for aquariums and fish my whole life. I had freshwater Oscars growing up and loved the enjoyment out of the hobby then. I have been out of the hobby for a while and decided to jump back in with a saltwater mixed reef tank. I am starting slow as I know there is alot to learn a much needed patience for this endeavor. I researched for months before committing to buying my first tank. About my tank I have started with a 75 gal sumpless tank, had to go with HOB filtration and an internal skimmer due to space restrictions in my living room. I started my tank at the beginning of Feb. And cycled my tank and added my two clowns. In with the clowns I have a midas blenny, a watchman pistol shrimp pair, two firefish, royal gramma and a flametail cardinal also two cleaner shrimp. As for corals I have one ricordia mushroom, one frag of zoa's, and a clove polyp as of now to test the waters. I also do have a small cuc for now and they have done a great job. I look forward to learning with everyone here and making some great memories in this hobby. Thanks for reading and have a great evening.
