    Hello from a new member

    Hi All, I've been keeping a RSM130d since March and have really enjoyed the hobby. Its our first tank and while the learning curve was steep, we're glad we took the plunge of going straight to marine. So far, we have two True Perculas and a Bubble Tip, a Dwarf Red Stripe Angel and a CUC...
