If I may I would like to introduce my self. I am a retired over the road truck driver. I work part time doing maintenance at a motel . I've always enjoyed wood working witch brought me to fish aquariums. I built a custom stand and hood hoping to make extra money selling it. As it went along I found out how interesting the aquarium could be so i filled the tank with fish. I was hooked. Of course I started out with fresh water (african ciclids) but was fascinated with the salt water aquariums. With my line of work I didn't think I could invest the time needed to maintain a reef tank. I had my freshwater system set up to be pretty much automatic. Lights, food and water so it took care of my fish while i was gone. had my set up for eight years and it was a success. Now I'm ready to try a saltwater system. I know it won't easy but with forms like this I know i won't have to go it alone. I appreciate the help I have already received and hope I can return the favor with all I learn along this journey.
