Hello

Hello everybody,
I have had a fish only saltwater aquarium with hang on equipment for almost twenty years, but a little more than a year ago decided to convert to a sump based reef tank. So far it is not going too well but hopefully with your help, I will overcome my problems and be able to grow corals.

I have a 90 gallon tank (I will post detailed info in a separate thread). Some interesting points:
* I built my own stand and canopy without any previous experience in this area
* One of my fish, clown, has been with me for almost 19 years

I am looking forward to learn and hopefully contribute and share my knowledge.
Welcome to Reef2Reef! This is the place to get information. Glad you're here and looking forward to hearing some of your knowledge!

Welcome! Glad you joined. CONGRATS on your 18+ year old clownfish!!

Have you considered starting your build thread? I found its a great place to document my tank's evolution for myself. I started tank first then joined, so I'm still finding myself going back collecting pictures & updating historically as well as current state. Once you create your first post in your thread and link it to your account, they will give you build badge (look left, under my ID)

This might help you find people local to you:

This is a good reference book type online article I still review:

Welcome to Reef2Reef! Will you be watching the big game this weekend? :cool:
Thank you @BlakeStew,
It is amazing what you were able to accomplish with HOB equipment. Looking forward to see your progress with a new aquarium.
The game was great, thank you!

Thanks for the kind words! I took my time, did my research and was diligent on my maintenance. I would say those three things helped a lot.
