Hello so I'm very new to the hobby about 5 months old lol
I have always had a love for the ocean life and I have always wanted a fish tank myself but I grew up homeless and it made it difficult to be in the hobby. But when I got the age of 17 I applied for pet supermarket and I fell in love with fish again. I became a 3rd key manager and I was in charge of the freshwater tanks about 30 Tanks of freshwater but it was always my heart on saltwater and reef tanks. I never really got to own a tank until now and I'm pretty excited. It took me a long time to jump the gun and join this hobby but here I am!


Btw I am in the ugly phase lol

Welcome!!! It's an addictive hobby. Fun and rewarding but you can spend a ton by "accident" in reefing. You'll see a lot of "if only (insert name here) knew how much I actually spent" and don't get me wrong.... I'm in that category lol. Super fun super rewarding. Patience is key and ask a ton of questions. This place has a lot of good advice
