Hi

[saltyphish21]

I'm not new to the site just figured I would start a thread and actually start posting. I got out of the hobby for about a year now and i'm just starting a new tank. I use to post on another site but that site has seem to slow down.

So I just finished setting up my 40 gall breeder. I was going to use my Asm G2 skimmer but the pump is seized. So I will have to pick one up later on. The cycle hasn't started yet because I need to pick up some live rock and some food. Every tank i start i use dry rock. This time I went with 40lbs of macro rock. Great rock if you ask me, I love the shapes that it came in. Easy to stack and really easy to mount corals to later on.

For lighting I'm using a 4 bulb tec light.

Now I would love to get into sps but I'm waiting till I can get a dosing system set up. I have been into saltwater for about 5 years now. My main goal with this system for a while i think is going to be an anemone tank. It will be a little less maintenance than a full on reef. Also I'm about to give birth to my daughter any day now, so I'm expecting a little less time for this stuff.

Well that's about it for now. Any recommendations or advice would be greatly appreciated.

welcome to the URS Forum on RC.

Try soaking the pump in dilute vinegar solution for several hours.

We can always use a few more women in this male dominated hobby.

Thank you everyone its been a couple days since I have had a chance to get on here. My daughter was born on Tuesday the 25th at 6:49. She came out at 7lbs 10oz and 20 inches long. I will have to post a picture of my tank and prolly one of my beautiful daughter in the next day or so. Thanks again for all the warm welcomes.
