Hello!

I have been working on my tank for about 6 months now. Currently it is FOWLR, but I plan on adding corals once I am no longer scared to add them lol.
My tank is a 20 gallon long with a Tidal 55 filter. I have lots of live rock. I have a yasha goby with a candy cane pistol shrimp and one pajama cardinal. Hoping to add one, maybe 2?, more fish in the future.

Welcome! Glad you joined. Sounds like you fit right in!

Have you considered starting your build thread? I found its a great place to document my tank's evolution for myself. I started tank first then joined, so I'm still finding myself going back collecting pictures & updating historically as well as current state. Once you create your first post in your thread under Forum > Member Aquariums and link it to your account, they will give you build badge (look left, under my ID)
