Newcomer - saying Hi.

Welcome to R2R and the salty world. Lots of knowledgeable and helpful people here who will support and advise you when needed.
 
Welcome to R2R! Plenty of fine folks here with years of experience to help. "Patience" is a key component to success in the hobby … but you figured I would say that (see screen name)! :rolleyes:
 
So I started out with a fresh water tank at the onset of COVID having had a few others over the years in the past, I was trying to introduce something different to the house to keep the kids interested. I ended up being protective over the tank so they ended up with Guinea Pigs.

The fresh water tank's still going well but I soon became fascinated with the colors and diversity of creatures that you could fill a reef tank with. I like a challenge so I jumped in to the Nano Reef world at the end of 2020. I'm self confessed impatient and am learning (slowly) that this hobby requires patience, I'm getting better...

I have a Fluval Evo 13.5 running now for about 5 months with a bunch of tweaks and upgrades (because I like to fiddle), it's been through a few phases and I'm slowly starting to win the fight back against algae without too much collateral damage but I know I have a LOT to learn so you'll probably see a bunch of posts from me on a variety of topics over the months.

Thanks in advance for your guidance.

Welcome to the party! I love the Evo 13.5. I'm actually setting up the Spec 16 as a clownfish tank soon.

Tank is great family hobby, but so are guinea pigs!
