Hi all!

I'm new to the forum and thought I would introduce myself.

My wife and I have a 75 gallon salt water aquarium that we started about 4 years ago. (See attached photo)
Right now we have three clown fish, one lawn mower blenny and a coral beauty angel fish. We are kind of in a lull and are looking to make some big changes in the near future(finances allowing). We would like to change out our wet/dry filter for a refugium sump and change our lighting to start growing some small corals. I'm excited to find this site and the abundance of information.

Thanks again for a great site.

Tom

Welcome to RS!! I'm with Boozeman, how do you keep it so clean!!??

TSRoth · 02-17-2008, 11:20 PM

Thanks everyone! It's nice to see such a warm welcome.

Keeping it clean is a constant battle. A little bit everyday seems to do the trick so it doesn't get out of hand. The lawn mower blenny and coral beauty do a pretty good job on the hair algae, but sometimes they need a hand(literally) to keep it down.
