New to saltwater tanks - loving my tank

mdpitts · Dec 30, 2023

Hi Everyone! I’ve been lurking but thought it’s time to say hi. Ive learned a lot of good things so far. I’ve got 11 tanks - 10 are freshwater. I‘m starting small with a Fluval Evo 13.5 and everything is going great so far. It’s been about 2 months. I jumped in with both feet and started stocking my tank after a week. Don’t go all crazy on me about waiting for cycling. I know all about it but I’ve always jumped right in and ive been really successful. Anyway, I’m glad to be here and thankful there is still an active group online. if anyone is in Central Texas please say hi. I’m in S. Austin. Best, Molly

You and I are from the same pea pod it seems! I have a bunch of FW setups and I started my first SW at the beginning of Nov with a Fluval 13.5 too. I had my first coral and fish in there by the end of week 1 too! Haaa haaa. Only reason I did that though is because I put in mature biomedia and live rocks. So that was crucial to getting stable
