I have always wanted a saltwater aquarium ever since I was a little girl and now as an early birthday present to myself I went and finally took the plunge lol

I am starting with a 38 gallon bow front aquarium. I have live sand and life rock from coralife which I built my first aquascape. Silly I know but I am so very proud of it .

A week ago today I added two of the most personable clownfish. I absolutely adore them!

I took the lid and lighting that came with my tank off and got the orbit lighting system which my two little fish seem to absolutely love.

My goal is to have a beautiful mixed reef tank.

Welcome to R2R! And no need to feel silly about being proud of your rock work. Hopefully you'll have many more proud moments to come!
Aww Thank you so much. I tired to take several things into consideration that this wasn’t just for me and my children to look at this was to be a home for our new aquatic family members.

This sounds crazy though I haven’t even finished establishing this tank and I am already having thoughts of another much bigger one like 125 gallons big lol
