What are your plans for the tank?

Welcome to R2R. :)

Go slow. Before buying anything do research. We are a great resource for equipment, fish, inverts and corals.

In the end I really want a reef tank, I know it’s probably a very long way down the road though lol I read a few times that the tank has to be established for a minimum of 6 months so until then I’m just going to get possibly 2 clownfish and some hermit crabs/snails and go from there, I’d like to get some shrimp but I’ve only seen insanely big ones at the stores near me so I’m not sure if they come in the size I’m looking for for saltwater

2-15-25 got some more rocks and a circulation pump, still debating on placement but looking good so far

Well I have neglected this thread for a while unfortunately, since my last post I have added a lot more rock, another circulation pump and a hob coralife protein skimmer, I have also added 2 cleaner shrimp, 2 peppermint shrimp, a serpent starfish, a watchman goby, 2 pistol shrimp, and an engineer goby along with other inverts and things of the sort. Yesterday I was also given 2 of my first corals, one I believe is a acan coral? And the other is gsp but hasn’t opened up yet. Here is a video showcasing my new rock formation I just updated, I’m still not sure how I feel about it just yet
