Welcome!

Hi! I recently moved to Mexico City and am in the process of starting up a tank. I ran across this and your build thread while looking for various places to find fish and corals here. I really like what you did with your tank, especially the canopy!

I visited ReefServices a couple of weeks back, and they have a nice collection of fish and corals. I haven't yet visited the Morelos fish market, but I hope to in the coming weeks as I'm getting ready to start cycling my tank after finishing the aquascaping. You mentioned a Facebook group and a forum; do you mind share the names and/or links for them? Are there any other store you recommend? Do you have any tips for a new reefer in Mexico City?

Hello everybody

Let me introduce myself very quickly...

I've always loved aquariums, I had my first aquarium (freshwater) when I was 7, anytime I went to the LFS with my parents I always liked the marine fish so at 13 I got tired of that and started mu own marine aquarium... there was no internet then so this hobbie was very different...

From then I've always had an aquarium or two installed in the house and I am very passionate about it...

I love DIY and to make my own stuff...

This is a video of my actual reef, the video is from a few months ago but haven't had time to shot a new one...

As of today I have a monti cap takeover situation, those grow FAST !

Also I am in the process of a new tank build but that will be a separate thread...

I am happy to join the R2R community !

Mucho Gusto! Welcome to R2R. You will love this place. Many of us love seeing the build threads, and the progress and setbacks after the initial build. Looking forward to seeing yours.
