Hi there! I recently started my first reef tank, a 25 gallon AIO that will be a Philippine biotope. It's my mother's native country and I like doing themes (i.e. I have a 300-gallon pond and surrounding garden only stocked with native minnows I've locally, and legally, caught and native plants). I'll do a build thread sooner rather than later, but just wanted to quickly introduce myself!
