Introduction

Well hello everyone,

I would like to introduce myself. I currenlty am a student with plans to graduate in a couple months with a degree in management accounting. Currently I am working at a factory in the purchasing department. For fun I like to play fooseball, pool, hangout with my friends, garden, and play with my dog.

I recently started the hobby of salt water aquariums. Did I say that right? My mom gave me a twelve gallon tank for christmas to get the ball rolling. Since then one of my friends gave me a 25 gallon hex back tank an a stand that I refurbished and got running.

I now have two tanks; one with only some live rock, substrate, two bangaii cardinals and a banded coral shrimp. And another with a black and white percula, orange and white percula, a couple hermit crabs, some live rock, a patch of zooanthids, a fuzzy mushroom, and a colt coral.

As I said before I recently started this hobby so any tips or advice are welcome.

Hello and welcome!!

#1 Management account means you'll WANT to micro manage your finances with the tank but don't even TRY that! It will only make your head hurt

#2 Read and research a LOT! The more you know ahead of purchasing more stuff the better off you, your tank and your finances will be

Allen Allen's testimonial . . ."Let Me help you help YOURSELF" (Click Here)

with a SW set up there is one basic fundamental rule that we ALL should follow
When in doubt... wait it out. This means take it slow and let the tank "develop" and don't rush it. Time is your friend


Ask me about how to increase your REEF budget without going without FOOD!!

Welcome! I'm new to this forum too, but I've gotten some invaluable information. The people here really know what they're talking about. Got any pictures of your tanks so far?
