    Hello everyone! We are very new to salt water aquariums. Our tank has been up and running for about 2 weeks and we are loving it! Just wanted to say hello!

    Hey welcome,

    You are in for a fun roller coaster. The ecosystem & life will fascinate you.

    From Waterloo I assume?

    There are a bunch of us from the area.

    Thanks /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default/emoticons/smile.gif

    Yea im already addicted. I have a million questions but dont really know what to ask. I'm looking forward to corals, as I tend to be more into the growth of the tank more than the fish. I have a 37gal tank right now with 3 damsels, a clown and a wrasse to start out with.

    Welcome - This is a great hobby and you've come to the right place. You'll find some great advice here. Sounds like you're fairly new to the hobby, so ask-away...there are no dumb questions...it's much better to ask then to fumble and make mistakes. Some mistakes in saltwater are very difficult to recover from. I take it from your name, you're from Waterloo...there are many club members from the Waterloo area, so you'll be in good company. Keep an eye on the Waterloo regional forum for local activities and events - you'll meet some great people.

    hey hey im new here to... been in the hobby for a few years...enjoy it.
    I see your tank is just 2 weeks old and you already have 5 fish in a 37 gal...
    you may want to take the count back down to 1.
    your tank is gonna need to cycle for 6-8 weeks befor it is stable to handle anymore fish.
    it is not ready for the bio-load of that many fish... i would also think that when your 37 is fully stocked 5 fish would be max.

I'm assuming you're located in Waterloo, I'm in Cedar Falls, if you ever want to stop by, let me know. I'm the primary Cedar Falls area Trustee along with DavidM199(David Mahncke), if you have any problems or questions, you can always shoot us a quick message.
