Hello Reefers
My name is Peter and I been lurking around the forum for a while but always been lazy on creating a journal.
I got into saltwater tank during the pandemic period. I always hesitate because of my stereotype toward saltwater is pricy and complicated. But I finally decided to take the leap into saltwater and never looked back. So far I am addicted to the hobby, now I have to find the balance between reef tank, newborn and job.
(Like how I priority the order? Shhh... Don't tell my wife that).
I brought my first tank from Craigslist. Wrost mistake ever, brought a very old All in One tank with cheap coral and fish but paid a premium price on it. Impulse buying always get the best of me, I didn't do any research on it. I spent even more money trying to make it work but in the end, things don't work out the way I wanted. Another reason I didn't want to start a journal on it because I know I will upgrade out of my first tank eventually.
Anyways, I am glad I found this reefing community. Everyone been super nice, helpful and informative. Recently I brought a tank from @Srt4eric and I am so happy with the tank. This is my first tank with an actually sump. He hooked me up with this tank for sure. Thank You.
Now my journey starts here...
Cleaned up and balanced the tank.
Will do a leak test soon.
My goal is to move all my livestock to this tank minus the sand and have a bare bottom tank.
We will see how it goes...
