Im new here from Woodland, CA just saying hi!! I recently got into Reef keeping. I have an 80g tank with 20g sump. Im running a euroreef RS80 skimmer and 2 Maxi-Jet 1200's (with 2 more to come). My tank is very new and all I really have in it is live rock (a few snails and crabs too).

Just droping by to say hi!

Welcome to RS! Stick ariound a while. It is a great forum and we can definitely get you started on the right track.
Lesson #1 Don't use damsels to cycle the tank. Use a piece or two of raw shrimp from the grocery. It does the same thing without risk to the anmal's life.

HI! Welcome to RS! We'd love to see your system. Do you have any photos?

tilmo2180 · 08-19-2007, 10:57 PM

No photos yet...I will try and get it done soon though.
I have been on another forum for a little while now and got some good advice, I joined this one cause I found a local reefer who i want to make friends with.
The tank has been up and running for three weeks now. I got it used on Craigslist with about 1.5 inches of live sand in it (5 months old). I got the skimmer based on what I was told by other people. I went to the LFS and got about 55lbs of live rock that had been in a local guys tank for 4 years...very thick coraline algea on it. Other than that all there is are a few hitchhikers: a nice 50 head polyp collony, a few shrooms and something that I dont know what it is (1/8" wide little purple tree looking thingys with neon green tips) really cool lookin stuff. Oh yeah, and a lawn mower blenny too, rock came with hair algea on it.

That, if it works, is a pic of the polyp collony.
Thats all for now...thanks for the welcome
