Hello everybody!
I'm Paulo. I'm from Lisbon, Portugal!
The sunny country from the tip of Europe, with very nice people, eheh.
Well, I've had aquariums since I can remember. My father used to have one when I was a kid, and I always liked to stare at aquariums. For the last years I tried to have a reef tank, after some years on and off freshwater tanks. My current tank is around 150 liters with a 30 liter sump. It took me a while to get it stable because I had faulty equipment. Lots of losses and never really understanding why. About a month ago, all changed and things are getting really nice. I have two clownfish, a blue damsel, all happy and getting fat (maybe a little too much, considering on getting them to jog a little), a couple of glass climbing kamikaze nassarius, 3 hermits, a strombus, 2 cerithe snails, too many ofiurus to count and one or two pistol shrimp, with babies. Besides that all the worms, pods and small usual critters. I also have 2 zoas colonies and two very small frags I do not recognize that where trapped in the live rock. If anyone can identify them, I would much appreciate.
With all this happening, I'm planning on making a new tank.
The reasons are fairly simple...this was my first tank, designed by me, and now I see a lot of errors. Beyond possible correction.
So, hope to keep learning with you guys (yes, I'm only introducing myself now, but I've been lurking around here for quite some time muahahahahah [emoji48]).
Soon I hope to make a build thread and put all my doubts in here, and I hope to get some help!
Thank you all!
