Jma93 Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Good afternoon everyone, I am new to the hobby and have been searching for a place to learn/connect. This seems to be just that place, and after lurking for a while I decided to join in on the fun. I'm originally from the Space Coast of FL and have lived in the Portland Metro area for a few years now. I recently cycled a 32 gal Biocube and will keep it lightly stocked as I continue to learn. The plan is 2 fish, a few inverts, and the rest soft/lps corals. It's a bummer that the meet ups are off with Covid but I look forward to them in the future. Best wishes and stay safe!

CoralReefTankers Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Welcome! Nice looking start to your tank, I love the scape! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emerald525 Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Welcome ! Great start and love the rock work ! Also very wise to minimize the amount of fish. It’s often a rookie mistake to overstock the tank. Yes it’s too bad the in person meetings aren’t available but we are planning to do some virtual things to help everyone feel connected.

obrien.david.j Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 I like the aquascape. Welcome! When you get to the point of wanting to know if your chemistry is good enough to keep <whatever is next> (acro, LPS, Zoas, ...) - I suggest you reach out to the group and ask if anyone has free (or almost free) copy of something, you can use as a Canary. Originally, it took me five Canary Corals in a row before starting keeping things alive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juan Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Nice aquascape! Looks well place especially for a cube. It’s pretty hard to come up with something nice in a small footprint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love mine. You should consider getting a clip-on orange filter so your photos aren't washed out with blue.
