I've spent so much time ove the years reading forums here but now I've decided to take part and post my unique situation here and see what type of insight I can gain from the community.

Hey guys!

Im experienced in aquaria: been keeping a planted freshwater tank for over 7 years now.

But this will be my first foray into saltwater! Looking to do a planted marine tank with my 40 gallon super long tank (8')

Hello, everyone! Newbie here. I'm glad to have found this great online reef central community. I'm hoping to learn more from the other members here. Cheers!

Hi I first joined in 2003 and I've taken over a decade off from reef keeping. I'm starting back up again with a reef tank from scratch. I'm surprised how far the technology has come and I have a lot of reading to catch up on but I definitely have experience with the hobby and just wanted to say HI! :beer:

Hello everyone. Many years ago I had some fish only saltwater tanks, and about 10 years ago I did some research on reef tanks, but never got around to it. Recently I have acquired the bug again, and I found this forum. I am looking into starting up a reef tank somewhere between 40 gal to 120 gallons. I'm looking forward to checking out your setups during my quest for knowledge.

Looks like you are off to a great start with that tank. I am still in the early planning stages for a tank. Looking forward to seeing how your tank progresses. Have fun!

Hey everyone. My name is Trevor and im new to the saltwater fish hobby. I have a 32 gallon Biocube. Only a few live rock in it at this time but I was wondering what some good starter fish are that I should look into? Thanks!

Hey guys happy to finally try and keep saltwater fish but could use a lot of advice please

 

[JGreiwe2]

Hey guys! I'm new to the forum but have had a 75 gallon reef tank for over 3-4 years. The tank was inherited to me about a year ago and I could use the help/advice! Also, does anyone have a simple solution on how I am suppose to upload pictures onto here. Every time I try it, it says that it fails to send.

Hey Ya'll. Back from the saltwater grave. Never posted here, but been lurking around for a while. Setting up a frag system in my basement before I get to set up a DT. Glad to be back into the hobby and looking forward to learning more!

Hi everyone:

I'm new here, been doing freshwater for over 10 years but at the urging of my daughter, I'm converting an 80 gal tall to saltwater.

So, just learning about all the difference with saltwater and hanging out here soaking up all the knowledge.

This is a good place for that. Your questions are probably already answered if you look into specific threads. Also thousands of people are here to help. It's really great! Welcome!

Hello everyone, new to the hobby, Got a 30 gal IM tank, with two clowns, two damsels, and a bracelet gramma fish.

Its a mixed tank that also have corals, like Xenia, GSP, Two Monti's, A Candy Cane Coral (That was nearly dead and I am trying to rehabilitate). I just bought a Brain Coral, and a Hammer Coral.

At this point, I am just trying to find the corals that will do well in the tank. The tank itself is maybe 4/5 months old. Hope that is new enough for this to apply here. I'll try to post a picture of the tank tomorrow after I clean it (I am doing biweekly water changes cause I had a nitrate spike about three weeks ago).

Hi Warhead,IMO for a 30 galloon you tank has too many agressive fish, I have a single damsel in my 55 and at times it makes me worried. Hope you have provided a lot of visual barriers for them and the tank isn't a warzone by now. Best of luck for your tank, will be looking forward for the pics.

Yeah The damsels are no problem. Neither do anything to anyone. Both are super peaceful. The Brasslet is the aggressive one, any time something swims close to its "den" it spits sand at it.
