Newbie from Pittsburgh

[chrissylulz]

Hi everyone! Thought I’d finally introduce myself after lurking on these forums for a year. My name is Chrissy and I’m from the Pittsburgh area. I’ve been in the fish-keeping hobby for 6ish years now, but up until this point I’ve only had small freshwater tanks. For the past year or two, I’ve been planning my first saltwater tank. It’s going to be a 4ft, 150 gallon seahorse and fish mixed reef tank. A bit ambitious for a newbie, I know, but I like a challenge. Plus, I feel about as prepared as I can be with all the research I’ve been doing.

Excited to finally start setting it up so I can share it with all of you! I’m sure I’ll be posting a ton of questions, so I appreciate any help I can get! Also, curious how many of you are from around this area :)

Hello, Newbie here! I set up a 10 gallon fresh water tank 2 weeks ago and just added ADF, snails amd ghost shrimp and within 2 days my ghost shrimp died. Everything else (including water test) is good but I need some cleaners and other shrimp are too small. Any ideas? More ghost shrimp from petsmart? Thanks

Welcome. I'd tell you how great everyone is here but you probably already know that. I've got a 4ft 120g that I'm doing a mixed reef in. Love the bigger 4ft aquariums
