Hi all,

My name is Evan. I am new to reef central. I used to have a fish only tank in my 29 gal about 3 years ago. Just recently, I bought a 75 gal tank and plan to start reef keeping. So yea I am a new to reef. As of now I am on the 2nd day of cycling my tank. Can't wait till it is ready for my first tang.

Evan

Hey there!!! I am new to RC. I have been in the hobby (obsession) for approx 2 yrs. I currently have a 55gal. I recently purchased a 125gal. Taking it slow getting the 125 up & running. Want to do it right the first time. Spent the past week building the stand, it's a BEAST!

Hello My Name is Charles I have had Freshwater for about 13 years and just now moved to Saltwater for the last year or so. So far I have a 37 Tall Saltwater , 10 Hospital Saltwater, a 29 saltwater, and hopefully this week the 150 Gallon Saltwater. I am finishing up the stand for the 150 as soon as the weather holds to dry the stain. I will be looking for ideas for my 150 gallon but it will for sure have lionfish. SO fill free to give ideas I will be starting a thread soon about the stand of the 150 and progress of the 150. Thanks

Hey I am new to the forum! Have been in the hobby for quite some time now and on other forums but decided to join in on this one!

Hey folks
Hi my name is Mark, I am currently in the middle of expanding a system that was roughly 500 gallons. The new configuration will be right around 1,500 gallons and has 7 tanks. I will no doubt have several questions, so please be easy on me. While I understand the plumbing issues I am not so familiar with skimmers, refugiums, etc.... Thanks in advance for your' patience.

Hi, my name is Michael. I am very new to saltwater. I have on order an oceanic 156, it will be (hopefully) a fish and coral tank. I am in the process of building a stand now. I will be asking suggestions on lighting, sumps and skimmers.

Thanks,
M.

Hello everyone. My name is Tony and I am new to reef central. I have actually been a member for a while but have never posted anything. I currently have a 240g with a 90g sump. It was FOWLR for about 2 years, and now I have since traded most the fish and have started a reef. I have learned tons through this site and I thank everyone who has contributed.

nanoLau · 08/06/2009, 09:14 PM

Hello my name is Bill and I have been into the hobby for about 5 years in freshwater and about 3 in saltwater. I have learned a lot and hope to learn more. I used to have three tanks, and now down to one 24 gallon nanocube reef.

ScarletReef · 08/07/2009, 05:12 PM

I have been reading on this forum for over a year, and I have finally got around to setting up an account. I have been researching the hobby since '04, but I just set up my first tank, a 65 gallon shallow rimless tank, in January of this year. I have been taking it REALLY slow, but I am happy with how everything is coming along. This site has given me a ton of great information and inspiration, so hopefully I will be able to do the same.

Consider starting a build thread on this forum. It is a good way to get feedback from others and keep pointers etc in a easy place to access them.

I am sure if you start a 150gal build thread you will get alot of suggestions posted there

Welcome to Reef Central friends!

I've been a lurker here for the last 6 months. I can't contribute much but you alls input has contributed knowledge-wise to me. I only do freshwater setups, specifically tropheus and planted tanks. I enjoy my WaveySeas, although one did stop rotating. I'm pretty happy that I recently upgraded my lighting to ATI PMs. And now I'm checking out the Vortech MP40Ws for more flow in my tropheus tanks.

I have 4-Oceanic 120s, 2-DSA 90s, and I hope to get a DSA 215 or bigger next year.

yehlwa1 · 08/09/2009, 12:02 AM

Hey I am new to the hobby. I am looking to buy a tank soon and get started. I have some friends pretty well involved in the hobby and they have gotten me very interested.

Which posts around here are the "must reads" for those just starting out?

Spajdi · 08/09/2009, 03:04 AM

Hi I'm newbie in marine tanks (I'm interested in saltwater about 2 months) I hope i'll start my first nano-reef in September/October at the moment I got all stuff to start nano-reef as : tank, light, circulation, RO filter etc. and now I'm collecting money for live rock and salt to start with my nano. I'm Polish and I live in Poland but I'm looking for the info about nano reefs on the internet and I found this forum so I decided to register because it's big and interesting and i hope I'll learn something here

ps. sorry if my english is bad I'll do my best to write correct

very interesting---I do both fresh and salt water setups. Some of us have asked for a fresh water forum on here but to no success. However alot of the concepts are very similar. Do you have a site you use as a fresh water forum?
