If You Are New to Reef Central, Introduce Yourself Here!

Hello
Hope everyone is doing great. I am brand new to this hobby and kinda of lost when it comes to everything lol. I am planning on going with a 150 gallon tank. I do want a live coral reef as well. I have no experience where do i begin?

Thanks
 
Hi, while not entirely new to freshwater and saltwater aquariums, I took a 10 year vacation from the hobby, but decided to get back into it in a smaller way. I am in the process of setting up a 29 Gal Biocube tank that I plan to setup as a small reef tank with just a few fish... not many. Just started this past weekend, setting up the tank, putting in the live sand and will let the tank process for a couple of weeks before adding some live rock. Look forward to being part of this community.

Hello everyone,

I recently started the journey into reef keeping, I used to keep a planted aquarium. I thank all for the contributions that have made it easier to do this.

Thanks for the welcome

Thanks for the welcome

I'm Jeremy,
Fish are friends... Not food.

I've been in the hobby on and off for about 5 years... always learn something new when I start a new tank. Currently working on establishing a 150 gallon tall mixed reef. The tank will be combining my 55g mix and my 30 bow front. I have a ton of questions and have been skimming the site now for about 3 weeks daily.
Thanks again for the welcome and I look forward to utilizing your knowledge. :)
 
Hello Everyone!

I've been in the hobby for about 2 yrs now, and finally decided to become a part of the online community. I've been on this site and many others quite often in that time looking for advice and information, and I feel like I've finally gotten both my tank and my general knowledge to a point where I could consider myself a beginner/intermediate hobbyist. Anyways, I've added as much info about my tank as I could to my profile, and I'd very much like to hear some of the expert's opinions about what seems to be right or wrong with my setup. I know there's many different schools of thought, but I'd gladly accept any input!
 
Hello, I'm James
I figured I should properly introduce myself. I pan to get my first quality fish today and looking to get a pair of nemos. My nitrate last week was at 5ppm per my LFS , she suggested I'd get some ghost shrimp and wait one more week. So I did. One thing though, I cycled the tank with 2 Damsles which are in good health and very active, a friend have them to me. Should I consider getting rid of them? My set up is a Red Sea reefer 350
73g tank 18g sump bubble magus c7 and a small refugium. I'd like some easy to keep corals and invertebrates and cuc. Thanks everyone !!

New to the Hobby

Hi Everyone,

Just joined Reef Central and wanted to say hi. I'm new to the hobby grew up with saltwater tanks and wanted to start one of my own. I have a 24G NanoCube up and running. I purchased "the package" from TBS and have the first half in the tank and looking forward to picking up the send part in the next week or so.

I've read quite a few articles/books, however any general tips or advice is always appreciated!
 
Hello everyone,
I was in this site many many moons ago and now I'm back knee deep in the hobby again. I got my three tanks set up 1 210 aggressive salt water, 1 48 bf setting it up to be a reef tank and a 175 cichlids tank. All tanks are in wall and I will post pic.... Just wanted to,say hello and re-introduce myself.
 
Hello hello, someone coming over from the other side (freshwater planted). Really found myself not interested in the plants and FW fish. FW shrimp on the other hand.....

Anyway, looking to start up a 22g long (Mr. Aqua) with a 10 g sump and 3 g refug after I move in the summer, found that I was inspired by a certain 12 g long reef tank and am planning on stocking with zoas and mushrooms and 2 clowns.

On a personal note, I'm an electrical engineer, finishing off his graduate degree in robotics, and really want something I can sink my DIY hands into (including designing controllers, lighting, dosing, etc.).

HI
New here and just looking for a place to get started. My daughter wants to start a reef tank so we are in the research stage together. Not even real sure where to begin.
 
New to RC, been keeping tanks on and off for 20 years+. In the mid 90's I had 3 135 gal in my basement- 1 reef, 1 fowlr, 1 with a pair of breeding Green Severums, 135 gal planted fresh up in my living room as well as a 65 gal reef in the living room.

Currently have a 10 gal nano reef, and a heavily planted 120 gal fw. Getting the itch to change the 120 to reef.

So I will hang around a while and see and read.
 
I've been here a while but it was all in preparation of starting a reef tank. I got my 20g setup (with 10g sump) going a couple weeks ago. I'm nearing the end of the cycle (using Bio-Spira) and getting some expected diatom blooms.
 
Hi! We are sooo, so new to this hobby. My husband, Mike, and I were gifted with a 20 year old sw 55 gallon whole system. We have lots of questions and for the most part are finding answers on the net and here on Reef Central. Thank you!

So far, the tank and all life in it have survived the move from friends home to ours (30 minute drive away) and Mike has already decided to upgrade to a 110 gallon. I'm in favor as I'd like to have a few more fish and coral.

In the meantime, can anyone please tell me what kind of anemone is hosting our maroon clown? Here's a pic:
 
Hello All,

I'm new to RC but have had various reef tanks over the past 6 years. I recently relocated to South Florida and started using RC. Currently I have a 10g setup with an AquaClear 50, Current Orbit LEDs, and a Jebao RW-4 (running on 12V).

My current inhabitants are:

Livestock:
Picasso Clown (Grade B)
Yellow Watchman w/
Tiger Pistol Shrimp
Emerald Crab
10 various colored Hermits
3 Astraea snails

Corals:
Xenia - 2 heads
GSP - 1 inch frag
Duncan - 1 head, 1 baby
Mushroom rock - Orange, Green, Blue/Green, Purple/Green
Assorted Zoa rock - currently 3 types

I don't plan to add any other livestock and only plan to add more zoas as time goes on.

Take care!
 
Hello from Louisville, KY.

Hello from Louisville, KY.

Starting the cycle on my first marine tank. 100G CADLights Artisan II w/30G sump. Time for patience...

Looking forward to learning a lot from all the folks at RC, and I also look forward to giving back to the forum as well.

Mike.
