New here, just saying hello

GSD09 · Mar 27, 2009

I thought it would be nice to introduce myself to this wonderful reefing community. I started this hobby about a year and a half ago with a ghetto ten gallon nano. I made a lot of mistakes but I have learned from them. I just started a 40 gallon breeder back in January but I'm on a very tight budget so its not much to look at. Here is an old pic a week or so after set up not much has changed just added a CUC, Coral Beauty, Blue/gold Damsel, and some test frags everything appears to be doing good. I will upload some new pics later and start a tank thread. So again hello to everyone.

My tank is loaded with rock and I'm looking forward to up grading to my 120 gallon so I can get rid of some of it...I think your landscaping looks more natural and I like the clean appearance. Take it slow...you're doing it right. When you go too fast things go wrong and you get frustrated. Welcome to R2R...you'll like it here.

I rushed my first tank and had nothing but problems and got frustrated, so before I even set this one up I decided to go slow and keep it simple so far so good(knock on wood).The downside to the landscape is I lose space to place frags. Thanks again for the kind welcome and good luck with your upgrade.
