Reefing newb
hello i am a noob to this fish forum. i started out with a 20G bowfront and let it cycle for a month with some rock, skimmer and movement, once i got some corals, fish, more rock, i ended up finding some water on my stand. it ended up being the tank was leaking from the bottom plastic peice. so i got a 30G tank and i bought a new 3' tec light to go with it. then i added a 10G sump to make things a little easer. so with the new sump i siliconed the particians in( had no guide lines on silicon) with the mold resistant silicon. so my corals were very close to being dead, my clow fish were acting funny and my tang died, so once we got that figured out, it had been going great. then last week we moved my tank to the living room because i was sick of people coming into my room to check it out. lastly i added a new 20G sump so i can put a 100IN vertex skimmer and have more room for future additions. and one more thing, i have a osmolater top up unit as well.
Sorry for the long introduction but here are some pics.
I will do another post with updates as i go further into this hobby
Note: all pictures were taken with a blackberry so sorry for the quality
