Hello Everyone,

I'm coming back to the hobby after about a 10 year break, so everything is new again! I decided to start off small and got a RedSea Max Nano 90 (20 gal) AIO to see if I can get it up and running.

So far I have cycled it for 4 weeks. I started with some dry rock and live sand in a bag and bacteria in a bottle. It went through the ugly phase last week and the ammonia and nitrates were at 0. I added some coral frags of LPS (2 mushrooms, 1 kenya tree, 1 duncan) and they are all doing well. My hope is to after another month or so try out some higher end corals like micromusa lords, torch, and plating montipora (sp all) to see it they can do well.

Fish wise the plan is to go with 2 snowflake for mocha storm clownfish and a pistol shrimp/goby pair.

Hope to chat with a lot of you cause I'm gonna need help!

=)

Welcome and welcome back to hobby! Glad you joined.

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 might help you find people local to you in New York:
