    Welcome to the club! You picked a good time to join considering the $5 discount that you'll get on your Fall Fest admission. Sounds like you have quite a variety of tanks...I would love to see some pics of them. How long have you been working with saltwater aquariums? Again, welcome to the club and hope to meet you at Fall Fest.

    Awesome, another addict in my area! haha. How long have these tanks been setup? It would have been nice to be on our last tank tour! What town do you live in, Waterloo or Cedar Falls?

    If you need someone to stop over to check something out in person, let me know, I'd be glad to check out your setups!

    It is more than an addiction. I think its almost a problem! LOL! I will try to take some pics tonight and figure out how to post them.

    The reef tank has been running for almost 1 1/2 years. The pred tank has been running for about 8 months. The 40 gal breeder we got about 8 months ago hoping to breed maroon clowns but so far have been unsucessful. The 10 gal we got orginally because I had a sick fish that I didnt want to die. Then thought I would try clarkii's to breed but didnt work either and they died when bubble tip anemone died. in the mean time same fish got sick so had to buy another 10 gal.
    I live in Cedar Falls.

    Looking good! You should buy stock in Koralia...you have a lot of their hardware in your tanks! They do make a nice pump for the money.

    I've used Koralias and they are good. I've heard Tunze pumps are good, but a lot of $$. I've also heard that Vortech pumps are good...again, lots of $$. I don't own any Tunze or EcoTech Marine Vortech pumps.
