About Yourself: Started this hobby 1.5 years ago and it turned into an obsession! I really enjoy to come home and tinker with the tank each day. Everything is doing incredible. I even frag and give them to the local fish store.

This is beautiful. I am just testing the waters right now (literally, lol) and want to get started! I've seen so much discouragement about starting a saltwater with anything smaller than a 55g tank, but yours seems to be doing just fine! I want to start with a 29g, but probably not get into corals until I've sustained a FOWLR for a little while. I figure with research, time, and not overstocking, it will be ok. Yours definitely inspires me :) Any more advice for the new guys?

THIS reef is the reason I signed up for Fish Tank of the Day! Beautifully done. Congratulations on such excellent work.

Love that tank! It is certainly reef keeping at its finest. Do you have a chiller on this system. I figured that much light would heat the water a little too much.

Hey! Thanks for the complements! I I have been travelling way too much recently and need to sell the tank. I am very upset with this decision, but I have no choice. Its for sale! Live in NJ. I purchase my water pre mixed from Petco and i think that helps with any shifts in salinity.I do 10% water changes weekly. I add daily, iodine, KENT part A and B for mini reefs, and vitamin C. I feed with Cyclopeeze dried and frozen stick daily as well. Temp is constant at 79 degrees. Please feel free to ask me anything you ned.
