| Moderator   | New to this Forum. Hello everyone, We are new to this forum after finding a thread on another site last night with a link to this site, took a look and thought RS looks like a really good place. So, we joined. We started our SW tank this past July. We were just going to get a small tank about 20g and have a few fish and thats all. Ended up buying a 46g bow thinking that was big enough (which now we know isn't) eventually all said and done we now have a reef tank with more corals than fish. Had no idea this would be so addictive!!! We have learned alot but, not nearly enough. So for now, just wanted to say hello and looking forward to many interesting threads!!  BTW, what are these Karma counts that I see on peoples avatars? |
