introduction

Sorry this is kind of a long question.. I’m new to saltwater tanks so bare with me. I have a 30 gallon tank and right now I have a perc clown and an ocellaris. The perc was in the tank first and I added the ocellaris about 3 weeks after. This was about 2 months ago. The perc is quite a bit...

Hey all! My name is Sable. I just started 3 tanks (yes all at once lol) this August. I now have 2 bettas and one plants only! When researching the hobby, I was pushed away from saltwater (as most new hobbyists seem to be) and I went freshwater. Feels like a mistake! But I know that I’ll be...

Hi, Just wanted to say hello & intro myself on the forum. I'm from sunny mother city of Cape Town in South Africa. Its a coastal city with access to plenty of beaches. This is my first attempt at any aquarium. For the longest time iv been into cars (on a OCD + ADHD level) & been slowly getting...

Hey, everybody. As the title states, I'm new to the hobby... Well, I guess that's not entirely true. I remember having a saltwater aquarium in my house in the mid 90s and recall my mother killing a fish nearly every month! Hopefully I don't continue that trend. I actually feel like it's...

Hi, I'm Magnus. I live in Raleigh, North Carolina [USA]. I also run a blog, an Instagram, and now even a YouTube under this same username for anyone who might be interested. I think I killed my first fish when I was 5 years old, trying to do a water change the wrong way. But it seems that for...

Hello everybody, I have in the past few months been lurking on the forums, getting ideas and stuff for my new reef tank. I had a nano tank a few years back and really enjoyed it so I am really looking forward to getting back into the hobby. I am saving my pennies for a reefer 350, after my...

I ordered a hi-fin red banded goby pair with a pistol shrimp from liveaquaria. They should arrive in the next hour or so. I plan on floating the gobies and drip acclimating the pistol shrimp. Is there a specific order in which these guys should be introduced? Is float acclimation ok for the...

Not only was it recommended to introduce myself, I was told through many friends to join this forum. So this is my personal introduction. I'm not going to release much personal information for my own reasons and I hope that is respected. Just know I work around reef stuff and am not a beginner...

Hi guys! ^.^ I'm new, and just read the noobie welcome dm so I thought I'd say hi! I joined last night (though I've lurked frequently during the last year or so of the progression of my reef, to read and learn!) after going to shop on WWC and discovering the witch craft that is the live sale...
