180Brandy Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Hello and welcome to the forums. Be sure to start up a tank build thread telling us the progress of your tank. Include pictures, And if you have any questions ask away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsoz Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Welcome to the addiction Bill. We are a good support group, but there are a few pushers around that will get you hooked on something. When you take pictures, make sure that you include the before as well as during and after transformation. Don't hesitate to ask, and when it comes time to stock that puppy, let me know, I usually give some easy corals to newbies. You just need to travel to Oregon City to get them. dsoz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill V. Posted March 26, 2009 Author Share Posted March 26, 2009 Hey, thanks guys and gals. I can't wait to get started. I haven't thought about doing a build thread but that is a cool idea i think i will. Just talked with the wife today and she is letting me move the tank to the front room and get it out of the office. It'll be nice to sit and watch the tank from my easy chair instead of standing in the office all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CCR Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Welcome new "TOAD" If your switching from fresh to salt, did you EVER use COPPER based medications? COPPER is a big no no when it comes to reef tanks. This isn't to scare you from setting one up but it may direct you in different directions. Copper absorbs into the silicone on glass tanks and leaches back into the system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill V. Posted March 27, 2009 Author Share Posted March 27, 2009 Thanks CCR, No i haven't used any copper meds in my tank. Actuallly i've been lucky and haven't had to use any meds for the fish. Also its an Acrylic Tenocor tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
