Getting back into the hobby after 10 years!

Recently purchased a Red Sea 525 to get back into the hobby after 10 years away and boy have things changed! Went with the Apex system with auto dosing and top off… a little overwhelmed but know it will be worth it once its all set up and running Of course already itching to add livestock but waiting for the cycle to stabilize!

How quickly and what was the first fish you added to your tank? I’m leaning toward a pair of clowns to start as I’ve read they’re more “durable” than some other fish.

Happy Reefing!

Once the tank is done cycling a pair of clowns are a great addition

Clowns are a pretty typical start to livestock. That’s the first fish I have added to every tank I’ve had.
