Hello everyone!

I am brand new to the hobby, I used to keep planted fresh water aquariums, but always desired a reef setup. I hadn't ventured into the marine/reef hobby because of the how difficult and expensive I heard it was.

Now that I am older, and have a little more money I have finally made the plunge. My build is about 2-2.5 years in the making now. I have been going at it slowly for a few reasons, time, money, and trying to make it easy to maintain.

I have my 110g display and 100g sump up and running and cycled for about 6 months now. I just got two clown fish and they are in quarantine. I am doing all I can to make sure they are healthy before I introduce them into my main system. I want to keep my display system free of Ich, Velvet and other pests!

Welcome to R2R, Adam! That's a whole lotta sump for your system. Many would be jealous!
