Hello Southern Ontario Reefers! I'm relatively new to the reefing world. I have kept various fresh water tanks for most of my 42 years, but before Christmas saw a 6 Gallon Fluval Edge kitted out for salt water for sale on Kijiji, and decided to take the plunge (Merry Christmas to Me)!
I'm chronicling the tank over at Nano-Reef as well, so if you want to see the first 2.5 months of activity, head on over to:
