What's going on everyone?? My name is Chad Free and I'm from Memphis, TN. I Work for the Memphis Fire Department as a Firefighter/Paramedic and it obviously does not pay enough for this Hobby lol. I am a new Reefer with a 55 gallon marine tank that has been up and running for a year now.
I have live rock and sand with a few fish and a couple cleaners at this time. I would like to think I am taking it slow while introducing fish to the system but I keep loosing fish here and there. Had one ick flare up that took all my expensive fish out (2-3 fish). Currently have one clown, a six line wrasse, emerald crab, and a cleaner shrimp.
I did a little research prior to actually starting the system and realized that I would need an RODI water changing station to make this go in the right direction. So, I built "my contraption" with a 6 stage RODI system to get started. Long story short..... A lot of money later. I feel like I have learned a lot along the way but still feel completely lost most of the time.
I'm still at the hang on the back filter stage because I know that when I venture into the sumps that it's going to be a whole new learning curve. Thanks for allowing me to come along and I am looking forward to learning more. Thanks
I have pictures if I can figure out how to navigate lol
