[John Blakely]

My name is John and I live in the great state of Alabama, USA. I am 65 years old and an experienced fresh water Aquariumist but new to salt water aquariums. So I am thrilled to have found Reef Central. I have a 75 gal tank with a wet/dry sump. I set up my tank two weeks ago and introduced my first fish last night. I have set the tank up as a FOWLR. I may switch to a reef aquarium later. I am starting off with 2 yellow tail damsels, 2 blue damsel, 2 green damsels and 1 domino damsel. Unfortunately the domino damsel died last night. It was his first night in my tank. I also have a hermit crab. I am looking forward to sharing this forum with everyone and learning all about salt water aquariums.

Welcome to rc John. Make sure you keep check your levels: ammonia, nitrite, nitrates etc. because that is a lot of fish for such a young tank.

WELCOME ON BOARD RC! :D

Make regular use of Waterkeeper's sticky note at the top of the forum - as well as the others up there. I would agree with saltkreep to ease up on the fish for now. And those damsels will likely terrorize any new addtions. ;)

All the best in your new endeavor!

I too would like to welcome you. I have found that this hobby never gets old.

Welcome to RC! I think you only need two damsels to startup and save room for others later.
