New to RC
What's up, my name is Matt, and I'm pretty new to the hobby. Right now I have a Biocube 29. Been established for about 2 and 1/2 months now. Bunch of live rock and 2 false percs so far. Very interested in doing corals and wondering if the lighting upgrade is a necessity? And for that matter a sump?

Looks nice. Just didn't want to spend a ton of money on corals to have them shrivel and die b/c my lighting isn't good enough. Thanks
Hi all,
Not new to the hobby but new to reef central.
I have a 180 gallon mixed reef that I have had about 4 years.
Prior to that I had a 100 gallon for about 6 years until it started leaking thats when I upgraded to the 180.
I have not found anyone in my area (Hernando, Ms.) that is into reef keeping.
That is the main reason I joined and to learn more from all you good people!
Cheers,
Craig

Hello every one my names Joe and I'm a nub for sure. I been looking around reading all i can on my newly acquired 3 month old tank. I have read a lot of articles on this site about things and have done a few diy projects, keep changing them too.
I have been blessed with my tank tho I have very little invested in it most of it was from trading lol. I have a 55gal under two 250w mh's. I have some corals, although i don't know what a few are, I do know they are polyps. I do know what I have is kenya tree, gorganian, deaths hand, blue ridge coral, and some frogspawn. I also have two little clowns and a damsel.
My rock was out of a running tank as well as my sand/crushed coral, some of it was out of a sump and i have a lot of bugs popping "need to get a blenny or something". my water is all ro/di water i took some water about 10 gal out of my friends tank that read 0 on all the important tests just to get started. We watched it for the first two months and had a small cycle but seems OK.
That is about it for now. you can criticize what i do its OK i know some of what i did was probably wrong but its working. i can take it any way no hard feelings. every thing is growing and reproducing well so.
thanks for reading this and i hope I wasn't an eye sore..
Joe, 86 monte goes gablupa gablupa lol.
