Started my very first tank this year (february '26). It has always been a dream to be able to join the saltwater hobby and after years of doubt I decided to go for it this year. The tank is far from mature after only running for about 7 months. The dry reef rock was leaking a lot and was a algea party for a long time. The tank is still pest free (that was the goal of the dryrock). I boosted the cycle with a litre of sand from a mature system which introduced copepods. This is a zero water change project. For questions, jump into the comments below! Happy reefing 🐟
Hello all, I am brand new to the hobby. This is my very first reef tank. It is a TMC First wave 48L (UK measurement) in the past, I had cold water and tropical fish.
I started this tank on Jully 11th 2026. I'm thinking of getting some black pvc sheeting for the back of the tank, which I will put on the outside.
