Reefing newb
I am new to the aquarium hobby but I would rather say this isn't a hobby for me, its more for research than anything else. I am a graduate student via distance learning at the University of Florida and I am studying aquatic sciences. My 30 gallon tank with accessories are all used but in working condition and I am picking up a 100 gallon tank this weekend. In the 30 gallon I have several live rocks that I picked myself from the extremely low tides we have here on Okinawa. Sometimes you can walk out on coral to a mile out its so low. The live rocks have macroalgae and microalgae incorporated into the rocks ecosystem to help fix the ammonia in the tank. I am not one for taking coral from its habitat but the coral I found was fragmented from the reef and laying in a tide pool. More to follow>>>>>>>>>
