Salutations! New to the forum and I am a beginner.

Hello!
I was able to finally afford getting back into the hobby and bought myself an Innovative Marine Encore Concept 20g tank (two, 10g tanks in one) I haven't had a tank in more than 7 yrs, I used to have a FOWLR tank, but I want to start getting in to Corals. I live in Calexico, California, I have a 6yr old who I want to share my passion for reefing with and a baby girl who is on the way. (Side question, is it true that the lights are harmful to babies? I plan to have the tank in my living room)

Welcome to R2R! I raised two kids with the tank in the living room, and they both turned out ok

Welcome! No harm to the kiddos from the lights

Glad to see it will be a family affair! If you get a chance, we'd love to see the progress on your concept tank and your first foray into stocking it with corals
