Hello

[Nate1632]

Hello, I'm Nate and am only 13 with a 55 gallon reef tank. I have mowed more lawns than I can't count this summer to go to the tank. Right now it has only 4 small corals and 2 clowns, 1 firefish, and 1 coral beauty. The tank has only a hob filter now bit this Christmas I am upgrading to a sump with skimmer.

This is the best pic I have I might try to get a better one later

Also if your wondering my avatar is my cat under my tank lights while looks at tank

Welcome to R2R!!! Great to see someone so young getting into this hobby. I started pretty young too but that was freshwater. Where are you from? You should try to find a local club as well as this forum. Many local club members are happy to help new young people unctuous hobby and it's always a good idea to have some locals around to call on in times of need. Best of luck and looking good!

Welcome Nate. You've found a great forum with R2R. Ask away with any questions you might have. I don't think that cat is reef safe!

Welcome to R2R. I was 14 when I worked enough jobs to buy my first Fish only saltwater tank. I am now almost 50 and have enjoyed the hobby ever since. I would recommend reading and learning as much as you can and R2R is a great place to learn. Best wishes to a lifelong love of this amazing hobby!
