Hello,
I am Philip, a Mechatronic Engineer (Industrial Automation) and Managing Director of Resolve Automation in Western Australia and I play Tuba in the WA Fire and Emergency Services Concert Band.

I have very little experience with fishkeeping in general, We have an 80L planted tropical tank with some simple fish. The usual bristle nose, 4 Columbian, tetras 5 neons, a pair of guppies, and a solo 8 year old Scissortail Rasbora (the last remaining of a school of 7).
We also have a ~12kL outdoor koi, goldfish, and lily pond.

Other pets are a Frill Neck Lizard and a Russian blue cat named Yekaterina (Kat for short) she is pretty great.

We have just moved into a larger house and decided to start a Reef tank. We have picked up an AquaOne 326 ReefSys and started setting it up. I will post a tank build over in the relevant section.

I have been reading through a bunch of threads and really like the tone here, it really seems like people are interested in sharing experience and helping each other learn. Great to see and I look forward to joining in.

Philip welcome to the reef. I discovered this forum as it seemed to always come up when I googled a question. Finally joined, then chose to become a supporting member and later a partner member to keep the forum available for others to come. My wife @Ocean_Queenie and I started culturing copepods and phytoplankton eventually selling some on here as a hobbyist. Eventually we decided to try to make a career out of it so we are now sponsors as well. I love the Reef2Reef community here and the wealth of knowledge. Thanks for joining us.

Yeah the information and help here is very good. Sounds like you are having a great time. I would consider buying some from you once my track is cycled but Australian quarantine laws make import of live specimens really hard. Glad our ecosystem is protected though.
