Hello to everyone.
My name is Felicia and my husband is Jack. Our son, Jason, and his girlfriend, Daniela, live with us as well as one renter, Brandon. We built a custom home in Centennial Hills. We have always wanted to have a salt water tank. I especially fell in love with the reef tanks. There's a tank at the Del Taco in Victorville that I really enjoy. I haven't been there in quite some time, so I don't even know if they still have it.
Currently we do not have any salt water tanks set up. We were given a tank by a friend. I'm not certain how big it is. I think it's about 100 gallons maybe. We had talk to two fish stores in town and found out that it was going to cost at least $1,000 just to get the tank going with live rock and coral, no fish. Needless to say, the tank's not set up yet.
After Brandon moved in, he had asked us about the tank and told us that he has had salt water tanks in the past and has two large tanks. The smaller of the two he has just set up with fresh water fish and said that we can use his larger tank for the reef. Again, I don't know the size but it is considerably larger than the one that we were going to use.
According to Brandon, reef tanks are the most difficult of all the tanks and requires the most work. He suggested that I do some research on reefs before buying anything. That's when I found ReefCentral and your forum.
We are very interested in attending your next meeting, getting to know everyone, and learning all we can about reefs and what we really need in order to get started. I would really like to get the tank up and running ASAP.
Hamburgers and hot dogs sound just fine. Let us know if we should bring anything.
