Hi Everybody!

Just started my first saltwater aquarium (Red Sea Nano XL G2) and can't wait to get things started! I've done African Cichlids and a Brackish Figure 8 Puffer in the past (while I was in college... seems like lightyears ago) but I've since moved to South Florida where I find myself dockside captivated by sight fishing... bringing me to wanting a little slice of that in my home!

2 weeks in and it's been a true test to me patience but here we go! Can't wait to kick this off, chat with like-minded reefers and learn from those who have obsessed over the hobby forever!!

Happy Reefing!! 🤙
