    Hi everyone I am new to the hobby but have been around saltwater guys for awhile. I just set up my first tank mostly from used equipment I bummed off my fish friends. I'm running a 110gal Oceanic reef ready display tank with Aqua Ray LED lighting. I've got two 75gal filter tanks one is a refuge with a deep sand bed the other is a sump with a mag 18 pushing my water around. Having this site as a resource has been very helpful and its great that everyone is fairly local.

    Hi Dan and welcome[​IMG]  That's great that your fish friends helped you out with getting your first tank setup[​IMG]  Are you running a skimmer?  Are you using RO/DI water?  Has your tank cycled?  What fish do you have or are planning on having?  Do you have or are you planning on corals?
    Any questions, just fire away[​IMG]

    Thanks Sponge thanks Chris. I am running a CPR Bak-Pak skimmer right now.. I'm not using RO just a whole house type filter dedicated to my tank. Right now I have about 120lbs of live rock and about 1\4 of my water was from Quams cycled tank. I have six fish all very small, a Blue Tang, a Clown fish, a lawnmower Blenny, two cardinals, and a Yellow Watchman Goby. I have several different varieties of coral, horn coral, frog spawn, zoas, xenia, cap coral, cabbage, button polyps, and green star polyps. I like the way my tank looks now and "plan" to leave it alone for awhile.

    I like the "plan" to leave it alone, if only I could leave mine alone!
