Hi All,

I've been reefing for almost about a year now and love every moment of it. I am a member of a few local reef clubs in my area and also a member to several online forums, I've always been a lurker on R2R and finally decided to make an account officially. Whoot whoot!

Let's take you along my journey of the 'simple' and 'low-cost' tank that I told my wife I was going set-up... to what I have now.

This was my first saltwater tank that I started back in end of December 2016, a 15 gallon:

This is my upgraded tank now, IM25. Knees deep into reef keeping...

Then I decided I needed to re-scape the entire tank and went for a minimalist look with Pukani rocks from BRS. Took me hours scaping this. Currently curing in a tub, it's been about a month now.

If that's not enough to annoy the wife. I also started my 2nd project... IM10 tank

Any who, those are my two tanks for now.
Thanks for reading and nice meeting you all.

Welcome to R2R, nice work on the tanks.:)
 
Welcome to a great place. I started mid dec. 2016 and like you knee deep. Have a 66 gal AIO, a 39 gal display refugium (Not yet plumbed) and a fish qt along with a coral qt. Yeah, knee deep.... Love your build and your new scape.
 
Welcome home, you will love it here!

Wow, what a transformation! Great aquascaping!
 
Thank you for the warm welcome all. Feels like I am already part of this community :)

Really appreciate the comments on my new rockscaping.
It literally took me countless hours of chiseling, rotating, cursing, lots of cursing, and making a huge mess in my small apartment to even make it what it is.
I hope it'll look okay once I get the big piece in the IM25.

I will start a thread to those who wants to follow along this re-scaping journey of mine.
 
Welcome, I am in Northern VA as well. What local clubs are you in I have had trouble finding any around here!
 
I'm in WAMAS and MDRC, which, both clubs cover a good portion of NOVA.
I believe WAMAS has their Octoberfest meet coming up this weekend. Look them up to find out more info.
