Hi Reef Central Community.
My name is Jason. I have had salt water tanks for about a decade now. mostly fish only. Due to life happening, my last 55 gallon tank was sadly neglected. Trying to renew my passion now with a 75 gallon reef tank. I look forward to learning from the community here. |

Greetings
Wife and I have an interest in starting a tank. I'm recently retired, need a hobby, and thinking of trying fish, corals and invertebrates in place of human social interactions. Was directed to this site by local LFS. Going through Waterkeepers Newbie stuff and already learning a lot. I must say, there are some amazing aquariums on this site and super-friendly and helpful participants.

Besides those items, a rodi unit is nice to have on hand, but also not necessarily a necessity. I buy my saltwater mixed and rodi from my lfs. The rodi is .69 per gallon and saltwater is 1.70 or so per gallon. Neither is too expensive for me. I usually buy about 10 or 15 gallons extra each to have in case of an emergency plus to top off from the evaporation. I have a light, and a couple powerheads lying around, if you're interested, pm me and we can figure something out. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk |

I recently got my first saltwater tank, a 10 gallon nano with a mix of sps and lps corals. Growing corals is tricky, I'm still learning new things every day.

Hello Everyone
Im Preetam, I have been in the hobby for about 15 years. I have been keeping Planted tanks and aquascaping for a long time. Decided to start a reef tank, so I have been reading up. At this point I am planing on setting up a tank approximately 70 gallons. with a 20 gallon sump. 36"X24"X21" main tank. I Do a lot of DIY stuff, I make my own custom LED Light panels for all my planted tanks etc. Hoping the Salty-side will be as much fun!

Hi Everyone! I'm Alex and i started my first saltwater tank about 2 months ago. After it cycled, i added 4 Clownfish (different designer colors), Blue Hippo Tang, Yellow Tang, Diamond Goby, and Flame Angel.
I actually just had the tank laying around and decided to start it after my Frenchie passed away. I purchased a canister filter since i wasn't sure how to set up a sump. Really looking forward to learning from the more seasoned hobbyists!!! |

Hey everyone, my name is Steve and have been a member for quite some time and have done several tanks, including a 220 gallon mixed reef tank. I sold the big tank several years ago and have missed my reef ever since, so I am getting back into it and feel like a novice again. Starting with a new tank, but hoping to resurrect some of my old equipment.
Glad to be back! |

Hi Guys,
I'm from India. I have a hobby of keeping aquariums. So I'm not a beginner, just so we are clear. I have 30 Gallon fish tank at home, its been a year now since I bought it. Now I want another aquarium for my office and I want a small one since there is not much space to keep a large aquarium. I researched on google and I took a liking to some of them but its really confusing to pick one up. So I want suggestions from someone who is much more experienced than I'm obviously... These are the aquariums I picked - Fluval Evo 13.5 Marina 10 Gallon LED Aquarium Kit Aqueon 10 Gallon LED Aquarium Kit Penn Plax Curved Corner Aquarium |

Been out of the hobby 18 years and just starting again
I was in the marine and reef hobby from 1991 to 2001. I had a 55 gallon tru vu acrylic and a 100 gallon glass tank---both with live rock in them. In August, 2019, I started 2 Nano tanks--- a 20g Innovative Nuvo Fusion and a 24g Aquatop-- both reef systems with live rock walls installed in them. The 24g is a LPS and zoa garden and my 20g is a SPS system. I'm running Eshopps nano skimmers in both tanks, the 24g has a AI prime HD and the 20g has a Hydra 26. 2-3 Gallon water changes once a week in both tanks.

Hey all. Re-entering reef world after a few years. Just bought myself a 160 gallon tank and a bunch of fun toys from a few folks who were exiting the hobby. Going through the long process of cleaning and planning. Hoping to have the tank at least up and cycling by Christmas to surprise our kids. Looking forward to sharing progress and asking a ton a stupid questions!

Hy there. My name is Victoria. I do not have any experience caring for aquariums. Hubby has had freshwater tanks. We recently purchased a Red Sea Reefer 250, 65 gallon tank. We are looking forward to learning with you all.

Hey folks,
My name is Rylan. I am from New Brunswick, Canada. I have been on here a while, from way back when I had my little tiny tank. Recently got a 30G tank, and got back into it. Tank is doing great, and everything is nice, and stable! Great forum for advice, and information. Looking forward to learning as I go! |

New to the forum and sw tanks. I was getting things together to down size my 75 planted into a 55 and redo the 75 as a salt or cichlid tank. My cousin had a big bow front explode and offered me the survivors so salt it is. Tank is cycling and the survivors are in a qt tank 2 blue damsels, 2 clowns, a flame angel, and a blenny. Planning to start out fowlr and maybe add some easy corals later on.
