Default Newbies FTS thread!

Ok so I have been thinking about starting this thread for quite a long time now so thought its about time

Anyway so there's all sort of threads with experienced reefers showing their wonderful DTs and systems and us, newbies, are left with tanks, wondering when we will reach their awesomeness.

So, nothing is better than showing off new tanks to both new and experienced reefers/salties, get criticized or admired, share horror stories and such.

After all, we are the reefers/salties of next generation

Some rules that I thought of to keep this thread fun

1. Tank should be less than a year
2. This thread is for newbies FTS and ONLY for newbies FTS.
3. Experienced reefers are more than welcome to judge, criticize, flame, admire, post suggestions and so on. Alongside, they are also welcome to show off their DTs/systems to inspire or to explain stuffs
4. Please no personal insult

I hope this thread will be lively

Cheers

Haha. I knew you would ask something like that I was thinking of putting something like "kien cannot show off his DT over here" JK

Well newbie is just newbie; no definition required I guess. But for official purpose,

"Someone who has recently (within a year at max) been mesmerized by the wonderful world of marine lives and started the journey into saltwater hobby and looks around for inspiration like Kien's tank, hoping to end up with something awesome"

That should put up the image right?

One of the things I like about this forum is while there are some real elitist and people who are anti nano on the forums most here are helpful and not overly critical.

When I first started out I visited so many forums and post on some the general sentiment is Nano reefers are not welcome and noobs are definitely not welcome unless starting a full sized tank.

Made it real tough for guys like me first starting out then my friend who got me into SW told me about this site and one other(nano reef forums an American site) and I feel like I am accepted and am learning as I go along.

Nothing worse than posting a question/idea or picture and getting flamed for it.

Thank you for being there Canreef
