Hello From Chicagoland!!!!

t_j · 01-22-2008, 04:22 PM

Hello Everyone!!!!!

I am new to SW but not to the aquarium world. I am mainly in to Discus I have a 125gal running right know with them. I just started to set up a 40 extra high tank for the SW on Sunday. We wanted to start small and if we succeed we will go with a larger tank. We're doing this in steps so right now we have the skimmer and magnum 303 running on it. Also with live sand or crushed coral can't remember. In a week we will add the live rock and so on. Hope to get as much info as I can from this site an the members as well.

Tiffany

I THOUGHT I WOULD ADD SOME PICS OF MY BABY'S!!!!!!! (Hope to have some new baby's with the new SW tank!!!)

Hi Tiffany, and Welcome to RS!! Sounds like you are taking it slow and that's the key to a nice reef tank. What do you plan to keep?
