Hi everyone. My name is Johnny. I am new to the hobby. I just work all the time so this has been a new outlet for me. I actually find the biology and science behind everything very interesting. I will always try my best to do research and find answers on my own but I am sure I will reach out for help within the community. I started in 12/17/21, here is a recent picture of my tank so far as of 1/19/22. My friend had given me his RSM130D all in one. I upgraded skimmer to Tunze 9001 and lighting to Steves LEDs. The tank is cycled and all parameters look good.

So far I have 2xSnowflake clowns, Exquisite Fairy Wrasse, Six Line Wrasse, Lawnmower Blenny, Pajama Cardinal, Spotted Hawkfish.

I know patience is very important and routine upkeep. I try to test regularly and also observe my tank everynight a bit as I enjoy a drink or two to unwind. It’s a lot of work and alot of information taking in but it’s been fun. If I can succeed in maintaining it for a year I will venture out to upgrade to a larger tank maybe 150gallons.

Any advice or critique is also much appreciated. Thank you!
