My name is Shannon and my fiancé Brian and I got into aquarium keeping in December of 2022. We now have a Red Sea 425 saltwater tank and a saltwater quarantine tank. We’ve both kept freshwater tanks in the past, but we are brand new to saltwater. We are very excited to get into the hobby, as it’s always been a dream for both of us to have a saltwater tank.
For the aquariums, Brian is in charge of cleaning them and maintenance, and I was put in charge of the aquascaping and propagation of coral.
