Hello SCR. Im new to reef keeping and would like to be part of this community to share knowledge and learn. Ive been in the saltwater hobby for about 2 months (total newbie) but I have kept all types freshwater for 15+ years from discus to exotics.
I would like to share a few pictures of my first tank. Advices are welcome. I will share details later about the set up. Tank appears to be stable. A little algae. Working on phos and nitrate balance. Everything is growing though and encrusting. I havent lost any corals to this date…knock on wood. Nothing fancy. Mixed reef.
I apologize beforehand that my post will be piecemeal because just like most people here, I am very busy with other obligations. Thus I do not have time to write a well written organized post.
first detail about the tank: it is in the garage with a 1/4 artica jbj chiller bc my wife said she doesnt want an ugly beginner reef tank in the house. I guess I gotta prove myself first. Hopefully i can upgrade to a peninsula 120-150 gallon in the future. Size: 75 gallon 4 foot long. This is a mature setup i bought on offer up. It has been running for 1 year total. I have double the coral species since I had it. I might be too trigger-happy. After 1 month of not losing any coral, ive decided to start trying out new corals. So far, it has been ok without any loss…
