Old but still New, my tank is becoming a Big Boy now.
After being out of the hobby for five years now, this comes to me as a big surprise, let’s start from the beginning. My cousin comes to visit me about a month in a half ago and he tells me that he has a little gift in the car for me, and what a surprise that was, the start of a mini reef setup. That night we stayed up till the morning putting up this little 10 gallon setup. He had a 10 gallon tank, aqua clear filter, small protein skimmer, live rocks and sand. Enough to turn me on to the world of Mini Reefs, ever since that morning I could not stop thinking of all the tanks I want to start up and how this tank is coming along
and so far so good, I still need to buy myself a better light and a few other things but maybe I get lucky and find it here. One of the things I do need is the answer to how to get a good night sleep and stop thinking REEF REEF REEF REEF HQI HQI HQI RO RO RO NANO 6, 12, 24 Gal setups. Boy I need to slow down and just stick to my 10 gallon for now. Please feel free to help me if you notice anything wrong in my setup.
Well, this was the story, but since then my tank has became a bigger boy now, I have made changes and look to improve it day by day like a dad growing up with his child. Here are a few pictures from the day the tank was born till now.
If you think I need to do something a little diffreant please feel free to give me some advice, we all learn new things everyday and learning is I am doing here.
WELCOME!! Glad your back to reefin! Tank looking good so far, keep it up! Let us know if you have any questions!

Well I tried putting a reef together one time before, but back in those days nothing under 30gallons was a No No to make a reef in. But thanks to sites like this it is possible to do and get the right help.
