Hello from England

ryanb79 · Jun 18, 2018

Hello everyone, I'm new to the forum and thought I'd introduce myself, My names Ryan and I'm from England, I've been keeping a mixed reef tank for 4 years and I'm lucky enough to live by the sea so I run my tank on natural sea water which seems to work well for me.
Here's a quick pic of my set up.

Live by the sea... in England? How far can you get from the sea?

Well I know it's only an island but I'm about 5 mins walk from the sea. But you can still get a hundred miles or so away [emoji38]

Distance is relative. My father lived in England for a decade or so. You folks figure 'near' and 'far' on a different scale than we do on this side of the pond. I'll drive a hundred miles to eat at a decent restaurant :)

That's very true, there is a vast size difference between our countries, but I'll second driving a hundred miles for a decent restaurant. Luckily I don't have to though. Decent fish shops is a whole different ball game though, those I do have to travel for if I want something nice.
