Hi, my name is Jamar and after roughly 12 years in the freshwater community I finally decided to walk into the dark side of saltwater and reef keeping I have a roughly 5-6mo old 20 long currently stocked with a blue velvet damsel, a spotted watchman goby, a coral banded shrimp, an emerald crab, and 2 strawberry conchs. As far as corals go,I have 1 pretty big bubble tip anemone (maybe 6”-7” in diameter), 3 zoa plugs, 1 small Xenia plug (for now lol), 1 small GSP plug(for now too loll), 1 orange ricordea mushroom and most recently acquired, my blue ring Aussie lord plug. As for my equipment, I’m currently running and 30” Coralife Seascape LED Light Bar which is getting the job done for now, as well as a Fluval SP2 wave maker (around 265gph).

I am still relatively new to the hobby and I am excited to learn all of the tips and tricks that’s come with reefing and meeting new ppl in the community to share my love for the hobby with.

I would love greatly appreciate feed back on my tank and what I can improve on so I can really succeed in reefing!!

Hi Jamar and Welcome! Glad you joined

Have you considered starting your build thread? I found its a great place to document my tank's evolution for myself. Like you, I started tank first then joined, so I'm still finding myself going back collecting pictures & updating historically as well as current state. Once you create your first post in your thread and link it to your account, they will give you build badge (look left, under my ID)
