Hello,

My name is Garry Elliott from Carlisle, Pa.

Here is a quick brief about myself.

I'm a 20 plus years hobbyist.

I maintain 3,000 gallons and they are totally 100% skimmer-less and use my
own products to maintain them and I do have my own internet store.

I’ve propagated corals for over a decade and now turning my attention to tank raising fish.

Looking forward to sharing some of my acquired knowledge and to see how other hobbyist from other areas maintain their saltwater systems and enjoy the saltwater hobby.

Welcome to RS! I can assure you, you will have great fun in raising fish.
I recommend either neon gobies or clownfish. Maybe even seahorses?

Welcome to RS. I think you'll love this place.

Awesome pic of your Mangroves. That's my next project!!

I look forward to hearing about your "skimmerless" success story.

Also I thought your name was "get naked" and I was cracking up over here.

Jason25,

I'm going to need to find out who I need to talk to, to become a Sponsor to this forum and get my sponsorship before I'll talk about my aquaculture internet store.

Right now I'm just one of the old school hobbyist with no tunnel vision and having fun.

Thanks for the welcome.

Check out the thread I started.
