I’ve been on here for a little while but not said hello before.
I’m an animal person who couldn’t resist trying something new. So after Covid sent me home from my awesome job in education and conservation in Namibia where I got to work with some of the coolest animals ever I wanted a new challenge with some more cool critters. So at the turn of the year I bought a used converted freshwater tank and started reefing.
A few months in and I’ve probably gone too fast but everything seems in perfect health. I’ve got 11 fish, a couple of cleaner shrimp, and a RFA in my 110 gallon. My current favorite is either my Naoko or my skunk cleaner as they’ll both come say hi and hand feed. I’ve also got a handful of corals which seem to be doing well most of the time but I’ve found them very hard to read so who knows.
My long term plan is a big tank and an epaulette shark but that’s a long way away.
So far R2R has been such a great resource with great responses which is great because I have a million questions (though I doubt most are worthy of a post).
Welcome! Glad you joined. You are well on your way!! Great photos (of all!!)
Have you considered starting your build thread? I found its a great place to document my tank's evolution for myself. I started tank first then joined, so I'm still finding myself going back collecting pictures & updating historically as well as current state. Once you create your first post in your thread and link it to your account, they will give you build badge (look left, under my ID)

This is a good reference book type online article I still review:
The Supreme Guide To Setting Up A Saltwater Reef Aquarium
This article was sponsored by @MarineDepot at www.marinedepot.com. Introduction The marine environment is one of the most complex systems on the planet. The aquarium you are about to set up is only a tiny sliver of the vast ocean, but it is no...
