Heya Reefers,
First timer here, super excited to be getting into the hobby. Over the last 3-4 months I have become consumed with the idea of having my own saltwater tank, and I'm so happy that it is finally becoming a reality!
My overarching goal is to create and maintain a beautiful reef tank of primarily (hopefully 100%) aquaculture'd/captive bred livestock & corals. I understand this limits my selection, but it is something I'd like to stay true to as much as possible.
Current Livestock
ORA Ocellaris Premium Black Snowflake Clownfish
ORA Ocellaris Frostbite Clownfish
Current Corals
WWC Bicolor Branching Hammer
WWC White Polyp Toadstool
WWC Spearmint Montiporra
