I'm Susan. Have had lots of experience with freshwater and no going to the dark side and entering the salt world. My current tank is a 75 gallon FOWLR that houses a dog-face puffer (Gus); yellow tang (Olivia); fox-face (Roxy); lawnmower blennie (Lennie) and 2 clowns (Mike & Ike). There's the usual clean up crew approx 30 turbo snails & at least 4 hermits.

Right now, I am running a HOB Tidal 110 with a pair of small current makers.

I know by now you probably wonder why there is so many fish in a small tank. I have been buying used equipment (the only way for me to get into the hobby) and recently acquired a 185 that will live in my garage with a window into the living room. That's where the cleanup crew and clown fish came from. The build is being done slowly as I am also a grad student, working full time, even during the SIP here in California. I'll post up the pics when I get home.

We also have 3 red-ear sliders; 2 dogs & 2 cats. I take care of my grandmother who is 94 and doesn't get out much and the primary reason I wanted to get back into fish. She loves them and interacts with the puffer through out the day.

Happy to join the community and looking forward to the interaction with fellow fishkeepers!
Cheers,
Susan

Welcome to R2R Susan! No fear coming to the dark side. We have cookies :D

Thanks Mayor!! The owner of my local fish store said that to me and I love it!! He is a great guy and actually recommended I check you all out. I am trying to figure out if I can add a few corals when we get the bigger tank going. I have tried adding a few small frags but the puffer loved them. He recommended some leather corals so we will see. I don't want to put anything else in until the move is complete due to the bio load. Hoping to add a bubble tip as well, but we will see......
