I have been in the hobby for just a few months. I thought that going small would be easy to maintain (which to me it was). I really did think I would like as much as I do now. Fish are cool but corals are amazing. I read and watched plenty of videos plus I have family that are in the hobby as well. I got a nuvo fusion 20 EE9BFD27-32F4-4826-90E1-34AA41AC4538.jpeg

After these few months I have wanted something bigger. I chose to go with a deep blue 60 with a 40b as my sump. I have ok local resources and found it at a good deal. I built a stand for it myself with instructions found here out of the hundreds on this forum.

Everything has opened nicely. Only had one loss that was my own fault during the transfer. 89A478F8-CA05-4A96-A8F9-5DB6635796A9.jpeg 12803D07-423E-4834-B1A7-A54B293DC456.jpeg 5B8DA769-7C66-4AB5-822C-63D3144EFB51.jpeg
