it all started with a 5gal betta tank for my daughter. the saltwater bug bit me and I started a 5gal saltwater tank which soon turned into a 40 breeder FOWLR that quickly ended in a parasitic outbreak that wiped out everything. swapped over to a freshwater cichlid tank for 6 months and then was bit by the saltwater bug again. Downsized to a 30gal tall and tried my first beginner corals. That’s when I became obsessed with LPS Coral. was buying frags multiple times a week and quickly started outgrowing the system. Got the approval from the wife to upgrade, so I found a 2nd hand 60gal with sump and went all out. Here I am now with the fish that got me into the hobby and a tank full of my favorite hammers, torches, and softies. Still new to the hobby and learning a lot every day. But boy is this a fun and rewarding hobby!
