Brief Introduction of your history of setting up your tank

To start off, I would like to thank Singapore Reef Club for the chance to share my passion here, my name is Raymond, I live in Woodlands. My adventure with reef keeping started about 1 year and 10 months ago when I was moving to a new house, its all about childhood dream, therefore; a colorful marine tank has to be featured as part of the interior designs for my new home. And in two months, my first & ever reef tank was in my living room.

For the first 12 months of reefing, it was the difficult and crucial moment to me as I’ve spent most of my time and of course $$, just to figure out what kind of hobby I was having? It’s an expensive hobby that needed 100% commitment and passion, lots of hard work to be done everyday. So for all newbie to the hobby, think twice before you get yourself in.
