Like any good tank it started with a old fashion cycle but used pure ammonia from the dollar store since I was a high school kid on a budget.

Next I decided to test the waters with a cheap damsel before I spent all of my hard earned money on fish, and as you can tell I dealt with my first round of cyanobacteria.

The damsel did good so after a month or two I decided to try something a bit more challenging and that I would like to stare at more clown fish(just your basic petco ones)!

After about a year of just the clown fish I picked up a mars aqua and ro system for $30 I also made a diy auto top off, so I felt ready to take on the world of coral and two new fish a coral beauty and neon dottyback but with them came ich.

I picked up some basic starter coals like zoas, frog spawn, montipora, mushrooms, and trumpets. This went good!

Then I lost all of my fish to ich or marine velvet, not sure but now running fallow for 80 days, but before that I picked up a handful of new corals!

So as of now I'm still waiting for it to run through the 80 days of fallow. But since then I picked up a tank for my dorm room that has come together great so far, let me know if you guys want to see that!

Why wouldn't we? BTW, sorry for your fish losses, but the tank is starting to get good looking with those corals.

BTW, welcome to R2R!

Thanks for the warm welcome, I'll have to get some photos of the dorm tank and my other surprise projects I'm working on!
