Hello reefers! This is my 70-gallon saltwater tank and it is just 7 months old. I am new in this hobby and I am glad that I can see all my fishes in good condition.

We all know that fishes, marine invertebrates and corals need periods of total darkness, and turning the lights off at night will adjust their conditions to simulate the natural habitat like the surface of the sea while blue light provides light energy necessary for proper photosynthetic coral growth.

Although I experienced many challenges just to maintain a piece of the ocean, I always look up to the experts and do some research on keeping a marine tank. From FOWLR to reef, it seems that sustaining this hobby isn't a challenge but passion.
