Howdy folks
So it says introduce yourself here. My name is Paul. I have a 135 gallon reef aquarium that is new. And I am currently making all the beginner mistakes. So be nice please. Newbie here. I am definitely learning a lot and wanna soak up like a sponge so any and all advice is great. I have a deep respect for all animals and inverts and love them all. That being said thanks for letting me in and lets learn something.. Talk to you all soon I hope.......

Worried about the costs to run a Saltwater tank?
Here are some tips on cutting back to keep your bills in the same range as before.

Put a timer in the bathroom, the family is now only aloud to take 5 minute showers, baths are out of the question.

Tv time is cut to 1 hour a night, we have to make up for all of the lights/pumps/heaters/chillers/etc. running

No more lights, duct tape all light switches in the off position. If someone needs light, they can sit by the tank.

Sorry bunny, I sacrificed you to help others save money!

Inhabitants are pair of maroon clowns, fox face, lawnmower blenny, yellow headed gobie, flamengi or spotted tang?, coral beauty, 4 green chromies, two bubble tip anemones, flower pot coral ,open brain coral, frog spawn coral, hammerhead coral, pink or white bubble coral, red button polyps coral.

Use Adobe - Adobe Photoshop Family : Digital Imaging Software, Digital Image Editing make an account and then load your pics. Then when finished, it will list 4 different types of "links/codes" Copy the Image code, and paste that onto here! Wa lahh!
