thanks to all for the welcome. Very excited to be getting into this.

Started cycling at the beginning of April with live rock and sand, added the watchman goby and clean up crew mid April, started adding coral a week later. So 1 month total. Will be adding a skunk shrimp and a few clowns within the next month. That will be it until I get a bigger tank (FYI no interest in a bigger tank either until I move in the next few years) but i'm loving this so far and have been so impressed with everyones tanks that I've seen so far!
