      I fell down the rabbit hole...

      Yo reefers!

      My name is Joey and my buddy Jared on here got me started with a 34g Solana setup (he actually has the same setup). Every time I visited his pad I couldn't stop starring at his reef tank.

      He got me infected with THE BUG!!

      So I've got a Remora skimmer and standard Compact Fluorescence light that came with the Solana. Bought the tank used and it's been up and running for a week now (since Jan 31st). Bought live sand and got the live rock from AquaSD. Tested levels of Ammonia/nitrites/nitrates on Saturday(02/04) and all were 0. Bought a couple chromis on Monday (02/06) and threw them in along with a small cleaner crew and some "tank warming" presents from a fellow sdreefer. Thanks Jrod!

      Looking to add some more frags in the next couple weeks...feedback and suggestions greatly appreciated!

      i am pretty sure that is a frogspawn not a hammer coral. you should get a better light like some t-5s or leds to grow more corals nice tank looking good.

      Great job! Jared is a good guy to know. Bring Jared and come see me when you're ready for some more coral. I'll take care of you.

      Welcome to the Site.

      I might have some "cuttings" that will grow low light...ping me and bring a baggie.

      Note: I am still falling down the hole, you never really find the bottom...

      I like how you got your return hidden amongst the rock. PC fixture looks slick.
