Introduction
I setup my very first saltwater aquarium in Sept 2015. I have had freshwater aquariums as a child and always wanted to get into saltwater. It is a lot more work then I anticipated at first but find it very rewarding.
Background
As a child i got into freshwater aquariums and really enjoyed it but always dreamed about a saltwater tank. I left the hobby for 10 years and got back into freshwater again but didn't find it interesting and left the hobby once again. After another 10 years I got the itch again but decided to get into saltwater this time, it took allot more effort then i thought but I find it rewarding and I really enjoy sitting back and watching my saltwater friends swim around.
Filtration
My filtration setup on this tank is very basic. I am using a canister filter as the main filtration in the system and also using a protein skimmer. I also added a hang-on filter with no filter pad to hold any kind of media I would like to use, at the moment I am using Seachem Purigen and Rowas Phosphate remover. I use my carbon in the canister filter.

Inspiration & Goals
As of now my tank is a FOWLR tank but as the tank matures I do plan on introducing some corals and making it a reef tank.
