hello fellow reefers, just wanted to drop a few lines about myself and my system. I'm 32, happily married and have a beautiful 4yr old girl named Coral (named after grandma). I have a 75gal BIW sps , lps tank. 40gal DIY sump/fuge, 2 175 13k aqualine,2 96 actinic 03, 6 moonlights, 1-96 50/50 over fuge, modified berlin turbo, just added 2 chamber cal. reactor and RK2 system. my reef is 10 years old and I currently house approximately 80 corals (lots of ORA's, tyree LE's and other rare corals). I also have a condy which is about 20in (about time to sell). future plans are for a 250gal sps and lots of fragging. plan on being in this hobby for a very long time, hopefully reefcentral will be there with us. oh yeah, Coral can name about every coral in our system.

wow--over 80 corals---I would love to see some pics

Here´s another newbie to the hobby! I´m a Swede, living in Stockholm with a newly started nano tank in the kitchen. After my last dive trip to Egypt and Sharm-el-Sheik I just had to bring a piece of the Red Sea into the apartment! My tank has been up and running for app. 1 month and is currently inhabitated by handfull of crabs, hermites and snails, a Euphyllia Glabrescens, a Galaxea, a Bubble Coral and two Fire shrimps. Looking forward to join RC and start learning!

Love to see some pics of your pieces of the Red Sea

Hello everybody,
My name is efrain and I’m 22 years old male. I live Carson, California. I always wanted a reef aquarium but never had the money or time to maintain one. I finish college (I attained a BA in Computer Science) and currently employed. I have the time to take care of an aquarium and I work 3 miles away so I can come home for lunch to feed the fish if needed. i been reading forum and books on how to set-up and maintain the aqurium.(currently reading "Saltwater Aquariums or Dummies") I want an aquarium that measures 48 ½ X 18 ½ X 23 3/8. (80 Gallon) I want to buy the equipment this weekend (Birthday present to myself). I want coral, live rock, invertebrates, and a couple of fish. I’m open to any suggestion on equipment that I should buy or stay away from? (For the size of my aquarium)

Here is some great first readings for you:

Hi to all, I am Krish from India.....I am new to saltwater ,my 200litre tank is just 2 weeks old in the middle of cycling process. I have built a sump with 5 chambers,first 3 chambers for the media while the last 2 are for protein skimmer and pump respectively.
I have been going through the articles of RC for the last 1 months and it helped me a lot in gaining knowledge about marine aquarium.

Looking over RK is a great way to find information. Use this forum for questions not answered there.

Hi! I'm by no means new to fish but am relatively new to reef keeping. I have a 55 gallon reef with a Rapids filter, a 12 gallon nano and a 33 gallon frag tank with a 10 gallon sump. My water all checks out good however I'm having problems getting my zoo's to open up in any tank. I have some cyanobacteria in the 55 I'm treating for but other than that I have no idea the problem. I use trace elements, Blackpowder, and of course calcium and reef builder. any suggestions are appreciated!

Hi I just joined this forum on recommendation of my good friend DaveOcean. I reside in San Diego. Ive had a fish tank for over 20 years, but have only had a saltwater tank since December(8 months). I have a 90 gallon semi cube reef, and a 34 gallon Solana dedicated to a pair of Picasso Clowns, and RBTA. I belong to another couple reef forums but I see there is far more information/experience here.

how are you treating for the cynobacteria
How much flow do you have in the 55 gal?

Hi from St. Louis!

Hi from St. Louis!

Hi, I'm Nikki from St. Louis, MO. After much lurking about this site and gathering information, I figured it was time to introduce myself!

I've been keeping freshwater planted tanks for 15+ years and also had a figure-eight puffer for about 6 years (still my favorite fish!) I had started a 55 gallon saltwater tank about 10 years ago but sold it after less than a year as I had to move. I have a 29 gallon (standard glass 30" long) that I will be setting up very soon. My main goal for this tank is 2-3 very small fish, polyps, mushrooms, and various snails/small crabs.

Just posted my first question in a new thread and am sure I will have many, many more to come, so thanks in advance for your time and patience!
