Hello fellow Reefers...

Always had marine set up in Ft.Lauderdale and kept it stocked with things I personally collected while diving. Pretty cool in that it was only populated with "local" creatures. Based on this, it was a fairly cheap hobby.

Im now in Atlanta and did my freshwater to salt conversion (Oscar's cost too much to feed!) 2years ago. I should have picked a cheaper hobby like owning an Indy car or something. Lordamercy, a boy can spend some serious bucks on marine aquaria!! But what a rewarding hobby it is.

Glad to be online with you guys, and will hopefully learn and contribute with the rest of you.

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

Re: Hello fellow Reefers...

Welcome to RS!! You are completely correct, when in this hobby, the only people with money are the LFS!

Please post pics of your setup.

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!
