Hi guys,
My name is Dalton and I am new to the forum. I have had various (small amounts of coral) reef tanks for approximately 6 years now. I started in a 56 column with a clown, 2 filefish, and a few chromis' with a couple of feather dusters. I moved from that to a 75 gallon in which I had decent a mount more fish and coral in until it cracked across the front of the tank. Thankfully Marineland determined it to be a manufacturer defect and replaced it free of charge. After that I set the 75 back up and only had a few things in it before moving. After the move I set the tank back up and it became a horrible mess. However, I have some pajama cardinals that were in the tank before the move and are still with me. How I am not sure because the tank got some bad due to life events not allowing me to even touch the tank. They survived through roughly 6 months of no food, filtration, water flow, or water changes. Once life calmed down a bit I moved into a 210 that my fiancé bought me for graduation. This is the current setup I have and I want to get into the best shape possible. The tank has been setup for about 6 months now. We moved for about 6-7 months into a temporary arrangement while having our house built and while there everything from the original 210 was living in a 65. I'm looking forward to learning from everyone and sharing any experience/limited knowledge I have that may be helpful. Talk to you guys soon and hope everyone is doing well.
