Hi everyone!

Thought id post a hi here and introduce myself!

Im new to salt water as a hobby, not so much as a job. Im a biology major with emphasis in marine biology. The past three years i was a diver in a great group of people taking care of large fish only tanks. The biggest salt water tank was 21,000 gallons. So i know big fish, food, illnesses, and water quality pretty well. More so fresh water though! But corals, refugiums, inverts... All that stuff Im very new at!

I now work for a local salt fish store to pass the time between job transitions, so im learning! But wow there is so much!! I have a 60 gallon tank for four months now.

Apollo light
Phosphate reactor
Bio pellet reactor

Im getting a protein skimmer and chiller next week.
I have to have a chiller, poor tank with a fan up top and on the sump is still at 82... :(

Don't even want to post my fish list! I have a few need bigger tank fish or need a friend fish... Bad me...But here it is!

1 Orange back fairy wrasse (might catch him to bring him into my store for something that will do fine in a smaller tank)

1 Bangaii cardinal

1 Bartlets anthias male (i know bad me... Another i might bring back... Cause i feel bad)

1 Chinese zebra barred goby

1 Pygmy hawk... I haven't seen him in awhile...


Anyways! Hi!
Ill be mostly in coral asking questions! I can only bug my coworkers so much with my questions ;)
