Let me introduce myself

[Subtropic Reefer]

Hey y’all, i haven’t done an introduction post yet so here. My name is Tyler and I’m 13 years old. I was born and raised in florida and have always loved fish and coral. I had many fresh water tanks prior but When I turned 11, i decided to get a saltwater tank. I got a few corals and stuff and It failed. Then when i turned 12 I got a lagoon 25g. It was very successful and all the coral had great growth and it was beautiful. Unfortunately I had a flatworm issue about a year later and tried to get rid of them. I had a full tank crash overnight and now i’m rebuilding! Any help or advice is much appreciated.

Sounds like a rough journey.

Welcome aboard, it seems that even in failure you have success, that success is the knowledge you garner and take with you on your next build!!!
Good luck with your new build!

If at first you don’t succeed , try and try again .

for being only 13 . Struggled through the loss and still So much to gain .

the greatest reward of reefing … the ambition and drive to continue

I Just got the tank cleaned out and the set up today. I’m transferring the surviving corals too it in hopes of the small chance they survive right now. these are the before and after pics. Sorry for the bad quality of the current ones. i lost my filter.
