Hi all! I'm a phd chemist (with a background in biology) and a love for the hobby (many years in freshwater, currently running a 10g planted and a 50g lake malawi biotope WIP) so it was only a matter of time before I got my first reef going. About 3 months ago, I started up the 10g in the picture with current inhabitants being some snails, a feather duster, redhead gobi, a leptoseris frag, candy cane frag, and a devil's hand frag. Currently I'm working on setting up a 55g reef and converting the 10g to a QT. I'm looking forward to learning from y'all!
