The lurking has finally come to an end! Hi! I'm Nora!

As the title states, I am new (and my name is Nora). I have a love for the ocean and all of it's inhabitants, and I have two small dogs, a paludarium, a betta fish tank, a terrarium with hermit crabs, and a twenty gallon tall nano reef tank. My nano reef is over a year and a half old! My tank is kind of budget... and no protein skimmer... or crazy lighting... or sump/filtration... but it seems to be pretty mature and happy now! *knocks on wood* Can't wait to share and learn more about this AWESOME hobby!!!

Thank you so much! It has been a struggle in the past. it is my very first tank and it started off kinda badly ;Dead had a mass invert die off and lost a couple of fish in the first few months. But, I think that now that I have a refractometer, knowledge, matured a tiny bit... etc. it is now stabilizing!

Hi nora, thanks for joining! That's a nice looking tank.

yay that makes me excited that others besides my family think so! my terrier Lulu wants to kill the fish... apparently giant turbo snail is also very tempting XD

I can see that both of us love yellow watchman gobies! Mine enjoys slapping his pistol shrimp when he gets annoyed. I get the impression that the shrimp is like a really clingy boyfriend.
