    I would have to say ADDICTION!! Not new to the whole saltwater thing but new to reefing man is it work. Don't have much yet got a 37 gal with a 20 gal sump started and going now, and have a 90 and a 60 gal built into the wall downstairs with a 55 gallon sump need a lil more equipment and money to get that going full steam. So any advice to a new reef keeper would be great.. thanks

    Hey Tom!
    Welcome to the club!
    Interesting that you mention you don't have much...but then list a 37g, 90g & 60g (in-walls!)....sounds like quite a bit!

    We'd love to hear (preferably see pics as well) more details about your setup(s).

    Advice - take your time, research and NEVER be afraid to ask questions!
    Enjoy our addiction...
    -Eric

    Well I kinda need a bit more equipment to get the in wall tanks going so I'm using the upstairs 37 to propagate corals in wich I only have 4 of now,then I will do the transfer, but knowing me ill just leave the 37 and do those tanks also. As soon as I get my home pc going I can pos5 pics my phone won't allow it says photos disabled, I've tried everything

    My advice is to get a part time job, cause there is always something cool to buy that you need extra cash for.

    Welcome Tom,

    Where you from?

    some more advice.....  don't get that part time job at a local fish store, you won't ever see a paycheck....  i havent seen one since i started working at petland....  the more you stare at a coral the more certain you are you MUST have it...
    best advice...  make good reefer friends. Thats the best way to trade the best frags, and if something goes wrong, you have 5 people lined up to come over and help ya out.
