Hi Everyone, I just joined.

I just tripped over R2R while browsing and thought it looked like fun. I’ve been keeping aquariums since I was a kid but just started in saltwater and reefs about 10 years ago so I’m fairly new. I upgraded from a 30 gallon to a 55 gallon reef about a month ago so my tank is in the early start up phase. So far everything is going well. I moved two “freebie” corals in from my 30 gallon. As soon as I learn how to post pictures I’ll put them on here to see if anyone can ID them for me. Don’t know what they are but they’re growing great so far. I also moved in several hermit crabs and a tiger pistol shrimp. All have settled in well. Just today I added a hammer coral frag. This is the first one of these I’ve had so I’m hoping I can do well with it. I’ve been reading anything I can get my hands on about hammer coral but if anyone knows any tricks for keeping them I’d love to hear from you.

Don't let your nutrients drop to zero. Oh, and welcome!

Yeah Welcome to R2R, the easiest way I found to insert pictures is to drag the picture you want to post on the desktop and then drag those photos into this Text box. It will ask if you want to inserft full images. I always insert full images

My hammer was so moody at first. Found it likes medium flow and I Target feed him for fun with frozen.

Hi. You asked so here it is. I’m still dealing with all the annoying algae. Lots of water changes and attacking it with a toothbrush is keeping it at bay. Plus my little tailspot blenny likes to munch on it. I also added some macro algae to my refugium which seems to be slowing it down. I’ll get it beat eventually!

Here’s my little hammer. So far seems pretty happy. I’ve only poked the base of the frag plug through a hole in the rock so I can move it around if I need to.

Thanks for the advice about flow and feeding. Am I allowed to ask what type of food you feed?

Also, thanks everyone for all the welcomes!

Very nice tank

Mine loves frozen fed with a pipette. Cool to watch.
