Introduction
Welcome to my 20 Gallon mixed reef!
I've been out of the hobby for several years, but I've decided to dive in and see if I still have the "Green thumb," I once processed before.
This Aquarium is sort of an experiment in the making. Again, it has been years since I've practiced any of these disciplines, and there has been many advancements in the trade over my "MIA" years.

Inspiration & Goals
My goals for this setup are to try to grow out SPS corals as fast as possible and improving color, while lowering maintenance.
I have plans to build a 300-gallon peninsula aquarium in my living room, and all practices and knowledge gained from this setup will be applied.
