So let me begin by saying I am still pretty much a newbie in this hobby. I started my first saltwater aquarium approximately 10 months now. The opportunity came when my son wanted a pet and my wife suggested a fish. (Goldfish in a bowl). Then the following week she comes home from work to find me with all of his gear and a new 13.5 Fluval.
We got a couple clownfish for that tank then I started collecting some coral… and as most of you know that can turn into an addiction worse then crack.
After about 5 months I was already thinking bigger tank… A few months later and with the permission of my wife I purchased a new Red Sea 300XL. (I am going to keep both tanks going)
The 300XL has been up and running for about a month and a half now.
With this thread I hope to share my experiences both good and bad that help someone along their journey.
Current setup:
Red Sea 300XL
Red Sea Skimmer 300
2X AI - Nero 5 wavemaker
2X AI - Hydra 32
Titanium 300W heater
Jebao DC 5000 return pump
