Hey Guys,

So I am really new to the SaltWater Aquarium Hobby, I've always been a freshwater guy until recently when I won the Fluval Bugbites challenge, and won a $2500 shopping spree. Since I had so much money to burn, I picked up the Fluval Evo 13.5 gallon to get my feet wet. And man do I love it. but the Evo was just way too small. Recently, last Monday infact(july 30 2018), I upgraded into a 26 gallon Bow front with a hang on back refugium, and also I built a cheato algea reactor. It's new, but this is my tank. I also have a 36 gallon bow front I may be setting up soon, but ultimatly, I am hoping to get a 72 gallon bow front as well (I love the bow fronts heheheh).

Welcome! :) what did you use to cycle your tank?
I used all the old filter media and live rock/substrate from the previous tank. I was actually a little forced into rushing the change over, as I needed to get the EVO out of the place I had it, and I was limited in room.
 
Nice upgrade! Welcome to the forum!
