Hello, I'm Taly! I'm a young woman from the Inland Empire and I'm new to the saltwater world. I've had freshwater fish on and off for about 10 years (currently have a Discus and Cichlid tank) and about 4 months ago I became inspired to build a saltwater aquarium by mainly being creative (which means: doing a lot of diy projects and trades) and not going way above my budget. I have put together a 125galon fish tank that I got dirt cheap on CL (it was a fixer upper but it came with live rock and some extra accessories). I decided to sand and paint the base and canopy, but I think I made a poor choice with the paint I used (eggshell finish) and will stain it instead soon. The guy at the local fish store hooked me up with what he said were some "killer" lights that shimmer, they are LED lights...I'll have to tell you which ones in specific later once I remember. Currently I have a few fish and soft coral residing in my tank and they seem very happy. I've kind of had issues with my (high) nitrates and I'd like to learn more on that (if you have tips on how to lower them please share). I have much to learn! Sorry for the bad cellphone picture
