Description:
90 gallon square tank, 130 pounds of live rock, marineland lighting, 2 tunze wave makers, Eshopps protein skimmer, Eheim 3 filter.
Advice:
The bigger the tank, the less issues. To each their own, but I recommend not starting out with a nano or very small tank. The possibility for spikes in levels and outbreaks that spread rapidly is too high. Also do a lot of research on livestock, which can go together and which cannot.
Fish Kept:
1 mandarin goby, 1 purple fire goby, 1 sailfin tang, 1 black brittle starfish, 1 red tile starfish, 1 banded coral shrimp.
Corals/Plants:
2 zoanthids, 2 brains, 1 torch anemone, 1 short tentacle plate coral, 1 aussie doughnut coral, 1 aussie meat coral.
Tank Size:
90 gallons

About Yourself:
I started out with a 20 gallon tank that I got for Christmas. I jumped into saltwater head first. I had quite a few issues with this small tank such as, a red algae outbreak and fish & coral loss. I don't regret starting out with the small tank as I learned a lot. I got a 90 gallon square tank about a month and a half ago. I was able to salvage all of the live-rock, some snails, two gobies, and 3 corals. Since setting the new tank up, I have added 3 coral and one fish. Over time I hope to add a few more fish and lots more coral. I hope to have it looking like a true reef in a year. I have pictures of my old and new tank on my profile.

Setting up a new aquarium is an exercise in restraint that many hobbyists, both beginners and seasoned veterans, find difficult to master.
For decades, the gold standard of the home aquarium was a pristine, crystal-clear box of water, often decorated with neon gravel and plastic plants that bore little resemblance to the wild.
Bringing a slice of the underwater world into your home is a rewarding experience, but as the hobby grows, so does our responsibility to ensure that our passion doesn’t come at the expense of the environments we admire.
