Greetings to all,

I'm kelvin. Fairly new to this hobby. I started up with a 58L (est 15gallons) tank, by my friend 2 months ago. Now I'm design and planning for my new tank. A 270L (est 65 gallons). Hope to get more tips here before I built it to prevent poor design and bad filtration system.
 
Hi I'm newly registered, but have been reading here a lot. Thank you all for this bank of knowledge. 6 months in. JBJ-24g. Bare bottom. No corals yet. I might just be too patient. No ImageUploadedByTapatalk1352963401.010801.jpg

Hello RC. My name is Charley and I am finally making the switch to SW. A new 125 Gal has just been fabricated. I am wondering if there is anyone in the bay area that does tank consulting etc. as I would be very interested in speaking with someone about setting up my dream tank the correct way. If so, I would love to set up a meeting. Please shoot me a note at charleycurran@gmail.com.
Thanks in advance and happy Friday in 34 mins! :)

Hi everyone I,m steve I had been keeping fish for about 6-7 years I had a fowlr set up like 8-10 years back i had a 75 with a maroon clown queen angel and a few 3 spot damsels. i had rock in the tank and a wet dry with boi balls and rock in the outher part of the sump with a carbon bag. In ny we had a major blackout in the summer i lost everything my fish were over 4 years old i was so mad i never set a tank again. well i kinda got the bug im looking to set up a fish tank and eventually adding some soft corals polyps mushroms and some star mat things whatever they call them now i dont know.. the technology advanced so much since then im lost. I want to get a perfecto 90 gal with built in overflow in it .. a sump around 40gal or so .. I know these tanks run skimmers only so i need advice on what to get im nervous cause the feeding of the fish i have only experience use a filter. do they have pre made sumps ,what lighting do i need and other equipment do i need.. i want to start the tank with rock slowly add fish and see how the tank acts with these fish and skimmer and slowly add coral .. I had good success with fish keeping .. so can anyone point out equipment name brands and model#s.. I want to get the right stuff first because there is a good chance i will transition into a decent reef tank in the future .. Thanks for your help.
 
Hello to all,

My name is Jonathan and I keep a 100 gallon reef tank with my wife (our son "helps" too). We have had it for 3 and a half years. I am looking to expand my knowledge so we do not rely so heavily upon our aquarium store with which we have developed a relationship. I will read before I write, I look forward to soaking up the knowledge in the forum. Thank you all, I look forward to speaking with you.

My name is Jen, I live in Fife, WA. It took me a while to introduce myself. I've been keeping a 144g tank for 7 months. I'm selling that beautiful beast and starting up a 55g seahorse tank. I will be plumbing it and starting the cycle over the holiday break!

Hey guys, just wanted to introduce myself to everyone. My name is Mike and just finally setting up my first tank here about 3 weeks ago, and going to start a build thread, so please post your thoughts and comments! ^^ Been in the hobby working for stores around 2 years total, but relearning a lot here in the recent months thanks to some friends @ work that also participate on RC forums.
 
Thanks G! ^^ Happy to finally be on here, finally broke down and started the build thread LOL. I shall enjoy I'm sure.
 
Hi to all.

Hi to all.

My name is Brandon Hicks and I am from Manteca, Ca. I am new to saltwater I have a 46gal bow front tank, I have live sand and rock,(not all the rock I need yet, but working on it). I have a fluval 406, a coralife super skimmer 65g. I have been working on getting my ph up to 8.1 testing with api high range tester( I am sure I am there, have been adding Kent marine pro buffer. my salt is good on the hydrometer. I still need a heater and lighting, along with a wavemaker. Have been running filter for about 4 weeks. Just kind-of taking my time to try and get it right. I have done one 20% water change. messed the water up and got it back again. I thought that I should get the changing water correct before adding. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanx
Brandon
 
Hi I'm Silvia,
I used to have a pico-reef (3g), 7 years ago. I graduated in Marine Biology and I wanted to put my knowledge in practice.
My pico lasted 1 year then I had to go away 4 months for work and when I came back it was a disaster and I had to dismantle it.

Now I'd like to start again a nano. This time I've got a 10G tank :) Next month I'll start to cure the rocks :)

Bye bye

(PS: I'm not english motherlanguage so forgive my spelling and grammar errors ^_^)
 
Hello, my name is Cory, i am 25 and from Maine. I've been interested in this hobby for over a year but lack of funds kinda killed that. as of a month ago i kinda fell into 180 gallon tank, with a protein skimmer, T5 Current lights, a pair of sea swirls, about 90lbs of rock at the moment plan and need to get more. have a few fish and some coral. there is a good possibility i am in over my head so this should be good. I've been doing some reading here and realize i need to do a lot more. i am hopeful that i can someday make my tank as beautiful as some of the ones i have seen here but i shale see all in good time. :D
 
Greetings, all. I'm Don and I'm new to this site. There's so much great info here, and all the people seem genuinely interested in helping.

I plan a reef in the near future, but right now I'm operating several brackish tanks, mainly with inverts. I have a question about connecting my half-full brackish tanks to my sump, but I'm not sure exactly where to post the question. Guidance?

Thanks, and I look forward to learning more about this fascinating hobby.

Not sure how to post a question...
my husband has been taking care of our 35 gallon tank, but he is on a longish business trip, and I'm not sure what to do. I'm getting bubble algae among my rocks. what kills that?
