Greetings from Italy

Benvenuto nel forum Simone! Complimenti per il tank, bellissimo!

Welcome to the forum! That's a nice tank, the corals look quite grown in too.

Also can I ask where you got the corals, fish,etc. from? I don't know many places in Europe that supply saltwater critters...

Coral a mix of websites, local fish stores and friends. Fishes local fish stores almost completely, only few online + adopted some from tanks that were in dismission.

To quote the main ones:
Hobby acquari LFS in Bologna, now closed. Till it closed around 1+ year ago it was the best in town!
Piubello fish close to Verona.
Centroacquari in Modena for fish only.

Online
CoralsGarden
Recifathome
Masterfisch
But there are few other very good ones I would like to try.

In some areas of Europe we don’t have the same level of supply as in US, but you can find very nice critters!

Welcome to our collective obsession! Oh boy. Someone from Europe! LOL, when you post, I'll have to convert to US's really backwards way of measuring volume and temperature! Italy us on my bucket list. Your country is SO cool!!!!

I’ll do it for volumes, but don’t ask me for temperatures XD
Also dimensions metric to imperial for dimensions might be on the list.
Let’s start with tank dimension
174x70x55h —> 68.5x27.5x22h …ish

Hello and greetings from Italy.
I am Simone, soon 40yo married and father of two boys, 5 and 1.5 yo.
In the freshwater hobby since 1990ish, I got my first 60 liter tank when I was at primary school.
In 2021 after around 30 years I started my first reef tank, 670 liters-175ish gallons.
I will introduce it in a separate thread, but here is a picture as teaser!

Welcome to R2R and Happy Reefing!
