Hi I am Tom. I live in Colorado, right at the base of the rockies. I am a computer gamer mainly, and also enjoy sailing. We have a 26 ft Mac Gregor. I have to girls age 6 and 8, a Dog, two cats. I own an auto repair shop, and at the shop we keep two finches and two ferrets, as well as a mouser cat.
I have done several freshwater tanks over the course of 28 years. I always wanted to dip into saltwater, but have not had the access to the funds to get a proper size tank. I am excited to try my first saltwater tank and look forward to contributing to the community.

Who is TSM? I have been going to Biggs Lagoon, they ordered two mated pairs of clowns for me, and are going to quarantine them for me for thirty days. I also bought my own quarantine tank and am trying my hand at quarantineing (is that a word) a tiny pair of aqua cultured mandarins from a local big box.Welcome! My real name is Tom too and we both have the same blue collar and interests!
I actually built my reef because I couldn't find a new GPU and sunk that money into a tank I've had for almost 3 years dry.
Get your fish from TSM so you have a better chance of success right off the bat.
TSM is a vendor specializing in quarantined fish, they are small scale so not much is available at a time.Who is TSM?

P.S. Thank you everyone for the warm welcome.
I figure this is a good time to try my hand at quarantine since there are no fish in the tank. I have already made the mistake of dipping a feeder into my display tank after having it in the quarantine tank. Cursed myself on that one. Each day I get better and more careful. I picked up the copper medication today and will start ramping that up after a quick feeding.TSM is a vendor specializing in quarantined fish, they are small scale so not much is available at a time.
You have more patience than me quarantining!
Make sure you are diligent not cross contamination gear and buckets, have two of eveything.
Make sure you seed your display tank now with phytoplankton and pods in case your manderins won't take to prepared foods.
