Good evening group, just introducing myself and a touch about my setup and future ideas. A few years ago I had a small tank, some live rock, couple fish, few hermits. Not alot of effort went into it, but it worked great. Then gave it to my friend as I got to busy. Fast forward a few years, as I was getting bored with the hydroponic industry after 10 years, I picked up some old reef books i had but never read. I started getting into the information of fragging as it seems similar to cloning plants, but with different parameters. As of a month ago someone on Facebook was getting rid of there 29gallon nano tank, pumps, live rock and sand, had lights built into the whole 9 minus power heads, for free. So I was lucky to scoop it up, set it up immediately, using reverse osmosis water, reef crystal salt. It's been cycling for just shy of a month and as of yesterday grab some hermits and snails to just get in there. pH is 8.1 temp is 78-80 salinity 1.025. I'm just letting t cycle for another month or so until I try puting some frags in there and get the game rolling.. eventually I have a nice tank that I'd like to setup for seahorses, I'm no where near ready or knowledgeable for that project so it's a wish list and I have an old unused koi pond that I'd like to setuo eventually and grow out corals and frag em. I'm not in a rush for any of this. Just throwing it out there. Any tips on cycling or choices in first time coral etc... Would love to hear it... Thanks for reading.. hopefully in time I can contribute more to the group. And yes next pay check I'll become a paid member. Thanks again
