Hello everyone, I'm Mark and new here. I was told about this forum from Joe a.k.a SmokeyCFH. So here I am. First want to start off with a little bit how myself and How I began in this wonderful and extremely beautiful hobby. Well, 4 years ago I was working at a pet store here in Georgia, A co-worker Chad (R.I.P my friend) was kinda teaching a little bit about saltwater. Chad was in charge of the salt tanks and I was in charge of the freashwater tanks. Well, Chad pasted away and I stepped up to run the whole fish room, even though I didn't had a clue about saltwater. Long story short, A customer Chris showed all of us how to maintain saltwater tanks. Chris, showed me pictures of his tanks. I FELL IN LOVE!!! Well at that time I was collecting and breeding Tarantulas and Scorpions, had a large collection too. I sold most of my collection just so I can have a reef tank since I barely made $60 to $80 per week and I made it happen. I started out with a 15gal high then upgraded to a 30gal long and now have a 65gal currently running for 8 months and 2 weeks. My 65 is a simple setup. I'm using 2 outside hangon filters, protien skimmer, 3 powerheads and a 4 bulb T5s, 3 ATI Blue Plus & 1 AquaBlue. Been using this method for 4yrs now and no problems. And I'm a firm believer in weekly water changes. Well, I'll end it with that. Thanks for ya time....Mark |
