Hello, new to the forum. Been a fan of saltwater aquariums since a child. Used to have a 365 custom built acrylic tank many years ago. Wanted to get back into the hobby but living in a sky rise in downtown Miami it seemed kind of tough, making it happen though. Below are my two tanks! Filtration on my big tank is only 2 HOB filters and a HOB protein skimmer. Been doing weekly 10% water changes with big 25% change once a month. Everything has been great so far! And my banded shark, very active and swims up to get fed (He is for sale :()

Welcome to R2R! Nice tanks! I imagine that is quite a challenge in a "sky rise"!

Yes it is, not easy but it keeps us busy, Currently have 1 hungry banded shark and 3 tangs, 1 emperor angel (baby) and 2 clown. I feed heavy to keep everyone happy and have been controlling parameters by changing water frequently. I prefer the water changes over dosing anyways.

Welcome to R2R! Those are some great-looking kids you have! Love the shark too. :D

Thanks, shark is my favorite got two of them hatched from the EGG from LFS. Got them both eating well and sold 1, now time to get rid of this guy as much as it hurts. He swims up to get his silversides every night and is very active. Knows the tank very well does not crash into glass or bother anyone
