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

Hello

Hello

My names Eric and I have 2 tanks one is fresh water with Oscars (40G)Breeder and a (37G)Tall saltwater . i just purchased my salt water fish yesterday and they are doing great they love there new home especially my Snowflake Onyx . am 18 years young and i have a awesome job at Petco :rollface:
 
My names is James. I have had very good success in keeping a very healthy FOWLR tank in the past till a hurricane killed my power 7 years ago and I lost everything. I was devastated in the loss of my beautiful fish. So now 7 years later my kids are older and want me to up grade my tank. I now have a back-up generator for power outages. I am in the process of up grading all my equipment for the tank so that I can raise a reef in it. My tank is an 80 gal bow front. I'll be posting more as it comes along. C-y'all.
 
Hi all... Also new to Reef Central... "It's amazing how we can have a tiny piece of the ocean in our home to enjoy" This hobby has got me Super Addicted to it. I started out with a 50 Gallon reef tank and just now purchased a 180 Gallon tank. <Super Excited>!!!
 
Whats up everyone? I'm Anthony, I'm new to reefing and saltwater tanks, and just recently acquired a Oceanic 90 gallon reef ready tank, and really looking forward to building it and getting my first saltwater tank up and running, Unfortunately I can't view/read the for sale/trade threads yet so I can take advantage of getting some equipment on the cheap, because it wasn't till after I purchased my tank did I realize just how expensive this hobby really can be.... I guess its ebay/craigslist for me and after I buy everything I need and I'm done asking all the questions I may have about what I have to get and which is better so on and so forth and done buying everything ELSEWHERE..... Thats when I'll be able to view them I don't get that but I guess theirs a reason for it but I still don't get it... So hi everyone, and I'm really looking forward on having one of those BEAUTIFUL tanks that I've seen most of the members have on here, filled with those oh so vibrantly colorful corals and fish with the slight soothing sound of flowing water in my bedroom.. I'm Anthony and I thank everyone for letting me be a part of this awesome community of some very knowledgeable, laid back, and cool people and hoping to expand my knowledge and my tank in the very near future.

Good day
-Anthony

Hello everyone!

I am ken and just got my first tank. I am about to turn 20 and the tank I have is a simple 30 gallon tank. I have absolutely no experience, but thankfully my mom does have some to help me through it. I am fascinated by fish and owning my own tank. Realistically I have little knowledge of what needs to be done but have been reading a lot about it. Hopefully I can learn while on here and have some help along the way!
 
I sure can. I clicked public profile, then albums. Looking very nice.
I'll have to get some pics up someday. In the mean time, enjoy...

Hello everyone, my name is Oscar and i'm from Fort Wayne, IN. Just joined today, perused the site a lil bit before and decided to join up. I'm in the homework stage of getting into the hobby. I had previously dabbled with the idea of getting into the hobby, but was quickly disillusioned with how expensive it was to get into it. Flash forward 10 years or so, i've caught the bug again, and have enough disposable income this time around to dive right in! I'm thinking either a 90 or 120 gallon system is calling my name. I read "The Conscientious Marine Aquarist" cover to cover, albeit a long time ago, and am now in the middle of "The Reef Aquarium Volume Three: Science, Art, and Technology". I've read numerous posts on numerous forums, have watched countless youtube videos, basically i've been living vicariously through the awesome ecosystems everyone else has been able to create. It's a lil' frightening (or at least it should be) to all newcomers that want to be responsible marine aquarists. There's boatloads of information out there and trying to be prepared for a lot of possible scenarios is really unreasonable. I think I just have to get my feet wet and go from there. Well... enough of my rambling, hoping to cultivate great relationships with many of you here!
 
New to hobby

New to hobby

My name is Jose and i am new to this hobby.. i saw my friends tank and i wanted one too...

I have a Biocube 29

so I have a slight problem with my Biocube..
I own a Biocube 29 and i bought it from a thrift store looking brand new. I actually only paid 22$ for it. It was missing both of its ballast's and the moon light plug..
I bought the missing plugs and the lights worked for about a day, and now they dont work,
the fans turn on so i know its getting power but i dont know what to do about the other lights. the moon lights are the only ones that work/..

now here is my issue, I am a soldier and dont have much money to spend on this tank so i am looking for suggestions on what i can do to make my tank work ..

i have seen many coral tanks and would love to eventually turn my into that over time.

any suggestions would help ././

thank you all for your time and hope you can help me out..
