Hello everybody,

I just acquired a new to me 40 gallon tank about a month and a half ago, and figured i should join a forum so i can discuss any ideas, issues i might run across.

I have been reading about everything since i got the tank, and finally decided to join!

Thanks

Hello. Just registered for reef Central. New to the hobby. I started my 29 gallon biocube in February. I seem to have more questions everyday. I like the hobby. Looking forward to learning lots.:wavehand:

 

[Deton8it]

New to Reef Central but not the hobby. I have been in the saltwater tank hobby since late 2004. I currently have a 90 gal that I'm tearing down because of a military move. Once we get comfy at our new base i will set up another tank or two.

Hi guys, I'm new here. Had a big SW tank many years ago with my dad but didn't get into it then. Now I have my own kid and wanted to get her something so started a small 30 gallon coral only tank!

I currently have a 90gal reef with 6 fish, 1 fire shrimp, clean up crew, sps and lps, 30 gal sump, skimmer, media reactor, t5 and small lunar led, reef keeper lite. I also have a 29 gal with cichlids. Things going great so far just battling some red cyano right now.

Hi RC,

My name is Glenn. I'm 56 and live on Long Island, NY. I got the bug to set up a reef tank after seeing pictures my brother sent me from Utah of his 70 gallon cube reef tank. He told me about this forum when I expressed interest.

I wanted to thank all the members for the things I have learned from them already by reading these threads on here for the past month or so. I'm planning on starting up a 100 gallon Cadlights in the future, after I learn a lot more. I'll be asking my newbie questions soon.

Thanks all,
Glenn

WHATS UP RC!?

I have been on this forum far too long to not have a name by now! I'm in CO, my fish kick it in a 90G, got a nano on my desk, I build prototype filtration for fish systems in my free time. Needless to say I should have had a profile a year ago when I first came here.

Maybe you've seen me at Reefstock this year, hustlin' the vendors out of their floor models, or maybe you'll see me at MACNA '14 reppin' my products. Who knows?

BTW, hmu if you're in CO, lets get this altitude reef club going.

Hi everyone, new to reef central, heard and read about a lot of good advise on this forum so decided to become one of many fellow reefers on this forum. Just started my first all Sps reef I'm hoping I can find and receive all the great advise I need to have amazing corals like a lot of reefers on here.

Names Ken, got a 56G tank I am in the midst of setting up. I would love advice on starter fish as I had expected to get some Blue Green Chromis but want to make sure they are the right choice.

I am doing what I consider to be a pretty elaborate setup for my first tank,

• 56 Column Marineland Tank and Stand
• Fluval 306 Filtration Unit
• 58lbs of Dry Indo Live Rock
• 30lbs of Live Sand
• ReefKeeper Titanium Elite
• Tunze Osmolator Universal 3155 ATO
• CIPR In-Tank Refugium
• Current USA Marine Orbit LED Lighting System

Hi Everyone

I just want to introduce my self, I live in Las Vegas NV, I worked in a IT field, been doing that for 10 yrs. I got into a saltwater hobby 3 month ago and I'm happy to be part of this forum.

All the info that I see in this forum is gold. :spin1:

 

[rock_on]

New again!

New again!

Hi there RC.

I have been away from the hobby for about 5 or 6 years. Before that I had a 120 reef running for over a decade, thanks to the help I received here on the RC forums.

I am back, thinking about rebuilding my 120 and getting started all over again. Things have changed a lot since I set up my tank all those years ago. The hobby has grown and I have forgotten things I should know.

Anyhow, Im here and will be asking for help once I get going again.

Thanks everyone for continuing this wonderful resource!

[tomstrange]

Hi, I'm new to Reef/SW but have done FW off and on all of my life. Currently I have a 125 Cichlid tank w/Malawi Mbuna.

I am having a tank built that should be somewhere around 250g. Nice to be here. I've been reading for a while getting lots of questions answered (which turn into more questions)...

Nice spot you have here.

 

[Dentamole]

Hi everyone, I'm relatively new to the SW (only 2 months), trying to learn and do things the right way since I started off buying used SW setup and everything just went wrong 2 months into it.

 

[MrsFoxface]

Hey y'all. I am relatively new to the saltwater world. My husband and I set up a 90 gal mixed reef about two months ago when he returned from overseas. We are located outside Atlanta, Georgia.
