Good afternoon Everyone!
Hope all is well. New here, as a child I had a freshwater tank that eventually moved into a saltwater fish only tank a few years later. Eventually I left the hobby, military and college. Now as an adult, with children of my own, its time to reignite my old love! I work from home and in my office I decided to start a small tank and see where it goes. My goals are to have fun, keep it low(ish) maintenance as I travel for work often, and involve my kids as much as possible. Up until this point I have spent a few months reading, watching, and learning has occurred. That said I am a beginner and don't be afraid to point out the obvious.
The tank, gear, and starter official commission date was 11/29/2022.
