Hello from Dallas

Just registered and looking forward to visiting R 2 R. I am impressed with the ease of the use of these forums and look forward to seeking some of your expertise.

I have a 42 gallon stretch hex, which thinks it is 84 gallons. Lots of Zoas, some frogspawn, hammer, and leathers. I have a fairly large RTBA with the boss of the tank being a clarkii clown along with another clarkii who unfortunately has to live with her. A red wrasse, yellow canary wrasse, scotter blenny, and my most recent addition is a small powder blue tang (I will adopt it out when it grows) which I saved from a local Petco, and is out eating all the others.

Lighting system is a 4 x 96 watt PC. About 50 lbs of live rock, a sump I built from a 10 gallon tank with a protein skimmer rated for a 150 gallon tank. Last week I started vodka dosing, so hopefully it will be a success.

thanks for the opportunity to bore all of you.

Tj

Welcome. We have considered relocating to the Dallas area if my wife can get into the school she wants..........
How is the hobby of reef keeping in the Dallas area? High demand or low like Cincinnati.
