Sisterlimonpot · 08/05/2009, 08:13 PM

awesome! I took me a while to fing this forum as well. but I'm glad I did!!!

amarubradley · 08/12/2009, 06:06 PM

Whats up guys. I got word of this forum from a buddy of mine John. I got a 55 gal reef tank with a 5 gallon refugium. I only have power compacts but I am having lots of fun with this tank. Pictures will be up soon and maybe I could get some helpful criticism.

68sting · 09/05/2009, 06:42 PM

Got any pictures of your tank yet?

B-Willz · 09/30/2009, 06:13 PM

Hello, My name is Brad, I am a Colorado native and have been into salt tanks for about 8 years. I tried to get out of the hobby but I could not stay away, so I am restarting a 55 gal with a 30 gal refugium/sump in the basement. I am hoping to get some corals fragged soon so I can start trading. For my real job I install low volt wiring, home theater, telephon, cable, security, etc. In this economy work is slow so money is tight, but I just got permission from my wife to upgrade when work picks up, I can see the 180gal now.

Surfacer · 10/04/2009, 11:29 PM

Hey everyone! I have been into saltwater tanks for just one year now and am enjoying every bit of it. I didn't know a thing about saltwater when I started but I have learned a lot on the way and continue to learn something new everyday mainly due to this forum. I have a 90g tank connected to a 30g refugium. I have various zoas, a toadstool, green slimer, acans, and a maxima clam. I can't wait to hear what kind of helpful advice everyone can give me. You all have helped so much already.

iceman79 · 10/11/2009, 09:14 PM

Whats up everyone glad i found this forum i have a 72 gallon bowfront with tons of corals and a few fish also a 20 gallon reef and a 10 gallon dardanus hermit crab tank

cubuffs · 10/27/2009, 09:04 PM

My name is Ryan. I am recently married and have been recently laid off for the third time in 15 months. As a result, I had to get rid of my tank to keep up with the bills. I had a 180 reef that had all Deltec components, with Tunze pumps. Hopefully when I get a job, I will set up another tank!

Anyone who may know of some openings in the finance or advertising world, please send me a PM. My wife and I would be indebted to you.

hey guys my name is travis and i used to be pretty active a few years back, was even a club member, long story short i ended up having to sell it all, the 180 hurt the most, now that i have a house again im starting back in. had to start a new account due to not remembering the password and not having that e-mail any more...

im gonna be in the process of building my frankinstine setup over the next few months its going to be a joined system on three shelf stand. the sump skimmer and all that stuff on the bottom, two 55 gal on the middle one reef one fish only non reef safe, then four tanks on the upper row (thinking of using 30's or so ) two for prop one for a refusium and on for what ever comes to mind...

should be fun!

so, hi and its nice to be back!

Hello everyone! My name is Troy and I'm located in Boulder. After ten years of not being in the hobby I have just purchased a 220. It will be setup as a SPS tank but may include some unorthodox fish choices. I can't believe how far the our hobby has come. I'm building from the ground up do I'm hoping to put up pictures and posts as I go along. Plus I'm looking for some dry base rock if anyone has some

. Thanks Troy!

Hi, My name is Harry, I live in Castle Rock, I have a lot of tanks, both SW and FW, I just bought a 70g Reef Ready Acrylic tank that I am gonna need a ton of help with, I have a 55g fowlr,and a 2.5g picotope, and my FW tanks are a 29g, a 27g hex, anda some other small ones.

chrislorentz · 11/22/2009, 11:44 PM

Hello everyone the name says it all I am Chris Lorentz. I live on the edge of Thornton and Brighton. I have been into freshwater tanks for years currently I have a 200 gallon, 125 gallon, a 55 gallon, 29 gallon, several 10 gallons and 1 35 gallon Saltwater reef. The saltwater bug got me about 1 year ago and I am really just now starting to add to the salt water tank. It has several mushrooms, condy anemone, 1 yellow tail damsel, 1 maroon clown, 1 blue leg hermit, 3 red leg hermits, 2 peppermint shrimp, 2 turbo snails, and 3 snails that go under the sand (please forgive me I cant remember what they are called) and about 45 lbs of live rock. Well the bug has gotten me so bad that my 125 is going to be transposed into saltwater soon hopefully I can just go to sleep wake up and it is changed over and full of coral.........:-) Well I have been married for 15 years in December have two girls, two GSD, 1 jack russel. I do apartment maint. for a living. I love the outdoors hunting camping fishing boating 4-wheeling and the list just goes on and on. I guess I will leave it at that. I am sure I will be looking for answers the the questions that arise and proabbly giving a few answers as well.

Glad to have you here. Yeah when that saltwater bug bites it grabs and holds on tight. When you get the 125 setup, starta thread and show us some pics of both your saltwater tanks.

chrislorentz · 11/23/2009, 12:09 AM

I Will try and get a few pics of my 35 in the next few days.

Very nice 300g, seeing how small that copperband looks in the tank puts things into perspective.
Now it's time to get some nice colorful corals in the tank.
