Welcome to the forum!

You said you’re in you early 20’s? How long have you been reefing and what got you started?

Yes! about 5 years now. One summer around my freshman year of college I decided I needed a hobby and wanted to learn something. As a kid I've always wanted to be a marin biologist so I had this old biocube 29g from when I was younger and my dad and I tried to set up a reef. I was much to young and my dad had too little time and so it failed. I then decided to resurrect this old tank, modify it and upgrade it as I learned more and more. It it was a sweet little tank with a radion and an exterior sump refugium rigged with an apex and dosing kalk with my ato. Looked like a mad scientists lab but it was pretty sweet!

Oh that’s awesome!! I have a 29g biocube that’s starting to look pretty wild with all of my medications lol.
