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!

Similar threads

A lot! - I avoid fish that require frequent or specialized feeding

Quite a bit, but an automatic feeder can change my answer

It depends on whether my nutrient export can handle it

It depends on how badly I want the fish

Not much. I’m willing to adjust my routine

Not at all. Feeding demands don’t limit my stocking choices

I usually learn about the demanding feeding schedule after buying the fish!

I haven’t really considered this before

Something else (see my comments in the thread)
