New member from NW PA. Been doing salt water since 1980. Owned a salt water store and body shop been out of it for 10 years. Getting back in it with a 81 gallon cube. Started out in 1980 when we still used under gravel filters lol but with great success. Then moved up to hang on Marineland with bio wheel. Now we evolved to sumps. I never used miracle drugs on my livestock nor did i sell them. The key to success in salt water is patience. Lot of really nice tanks here and a lot of good info from newbie to experienced
