Hello everyone,

I'm in Colorado Springs & just recently acquired my first saltwater tank. I traded with a neighbor for their 200 gal - nothing like starting small!

The tank still had live rock, an urchin, one Nassarius snail, a brittle star & a tiny surviving fragment of a frogspawn. So, I've been cycling it & trying to keep the algae in check while keeping the few survivors going. Inverts & corals are my primary interests, so a reef tank it is. I've got a small clean up crew installed & have had some little mushroom & zoo corals volunteer in various places in the tank.

I'll post pics of the tank once I figure out how. I don't have a huge stocking list, so anyone I my area interested in selling off older stock or small frags, give me a shout!

Freshwater filter only or is it? Have you ever used an HOB filter on a saltwater tank?
