Hello, reefers! I'm just finally taking the plunge into reefing after over 30 years of freshwater tanks. I worked in two different aquarium stores back in the late 80s which fueled my love of the hobby, but salt tanks intimidated me for a very long time. Having been stung by a lionfish and having an allergic reaction to it while cleaning a tank also contributed to my trepidation lol. My husband has been wanting a reef tank for years, so after we moved to Arkansas last year, he finally started his (65g). I've been elbow deep with his and doing lots of coral research which led me to wanting my own tank. I just finished the initial cycle of my 40g breeder and have 2 clown fish and a GSP that I stole from his tank. I'm a big fan of zoanthids & ricordeas, but trying not to rush things and run before I can walk. I love browsing the forum and seeing other people's tanks & builds as well as their coral selections. I'm more of a lurker than a poster, but I'll chime in when I can with questions.
