khaosinc Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Finally, I found a somewhat local forum... Anyway, I'm pretty new to salt water, but have been keeping freshwater tanks for years, including a 300 gallon African tank that has been up almost 10 years. Its been up for about a month and change, and just added my first bit of something alive (A whopping 12 hermits and 10 snails.. LOL) Hopefully this will evolve in to a reef tank over the next year or so... at the moment I'm looking forward to getting my first fish in to quarantine in the next couple weeks (and getting a larger clean up crew). I'm sure I'll have lots of annoying newbie questions soon enough. Here is a couple pics of where I'm at now.. Tank stats... 210 gallons, 100 gallon sump (about 3/4 full) 1/3 of which is a fuge.. Berlin XL (500 gal. rated) skimmer... not the best, but hey it only cost me a case of beer. New lighting should be here this week, what I have is basically pieced together from an old Iguana tank w/ new bulbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

180Brandy Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 Welcome to the site!! Very nice rock work. So what kinds of things will you be keeping in your tank? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khaosinc Posted November 15, 2008 Author Share Posted November 15, 2008 The tank was built with cardinals in mind, hence the large overhang. I have a thing for things with polka dots, and pajama cardinals fit that bill quite well. Beyond that, I hope to keep some of the dragonesque fish, and something large to keep them schooling. as for wild dogs... I can try... PS, I was unaware of a closer reef sight and I am off to check it out. thank you for the info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
