Welcome!
If you found ReefCentral for research then you already started off on the right foot. You can access an amazing amount of data here and usually no shortage of suggestions. I purchased a good portion of my tank second hand from this board which saved me a bundle. I would recommend doing your research (sound like you already started), ask questions, read, and get a plan of what you want you to keep. This will help you find the equipment you need and hopefully only have to buy it once. |

I live in Berea, KY. Am new to saltwater but have a pretty decent setup so far. 90 gallon, 30 gallon sump, t5 lighting, yada yada...20+ corals so far. Hope to maybe do some trading around eventually!

Anybody here from Southeast KY or nearby? I'm currently in Lexington and moving to Hazard.
My current tank is a 135g display (260g total tank volume including basement sump and frag tank), and a 29g (49g total including sump). I will be breaking these tanks down and upgrading to something bigger. I was looking at around 300g, but I need to find one I like. My basement sump is open to air, and has been there 4 years. The salt spray has rusted everything metal in my basement, and frankly my wife and I are sick of it. I want something completely enclosed and it has to be quiet - the noise has gotten old too. Experience about 8 years now. Anybody have suggestions for a good place to get a nice system in Southeast KY? |

Nitro, WV Just bought neighbors whole set up with a few fish but have had freshwater tanks on and off for 15 years but this is my first saltwater 110 gal saltwater, but have 2 20 gal, 2 2 gal Freshwater at home and 2 gal at my office. Couldn't pass up the deal he gave me for his whole setup for $150 eventhough I was planing on waiting till I bought another house before going saltwater big tank. Setup is a basic tank and stand with a proclean wet/dry trickle filter. Moved everything including water Saturday. Including a tomato clown, 3 stripe damsel, 2 yellow tail blue damsels |

Name: Jackie
Location: Mason WV Saltwater experience: Brand new Tank Size: 75 gal Tank Type: FOWLR, I was really excited to see there were other marine aquarists in this area, but it looks like a few years since anyone posted info so hoping some of you are still around I kinda fell into this hobby by being one of those impulsive people. I saw some friendly looking GSPs in a local store. I never pictured myself as a fish person but they looked so cheerful I just couldn't help myself. When i got home i learned i had really bitten off something to chew. a week later i had my 75gallon up and running so i could move them from their 10 gallon to something that would give them more room and started transitioning them from fresh to saltwater. several months later I am head over heels in love with my little puffer babies i still can't get over the joy i feel when i turn their lights on in the morning and those little round bodies start to stir awake, sleepy and a little clumsy but they make their way to the front of the glass and give me that happy little grin I love how they eat right out of my hands and I appreciate the fact that they can now tell the difference between the food and my fingers because i have a feeling as they grow their teeth would have started to hurt in the last month i have added a blenny, a tang, and two firefish (but I am going to tear down my tank and take the firefish out tonight because they are terrified of the tang that i added just this week) the tank is still a work in progress. its a fowlr and that's fine i am going to try some macro algae for the tang and to pretty things up a bit. I have a canister filter but i have learned its not really the best so we are setting up a sump with the skimmer and all of that hopefully that will get me away from the water changes every other day after i finish the sump and things I am planning a nano tank with clowns and within the next year to year and a half I plan to build an extra large tank. 10-12 feet long but haven't decided on height and depth yet. anyway i would really be nice to meet the rest of you if you are still active advice is always nice and sharing pics and ideas |

Dan in Beckley, WV here ! I'm returning to the hobby after many years away.
Right now I have a 4 gallon pico tank, and a 16 gallon pico reef tank. Mostly softies, and a few LPS. And a Couple of yellow tail blue Damsels. In the process of starting a new 29 gallon nano reef soon. I hope there are more SW hobbyists in the area. |

Terry Ranson - I'm back, sort of.
Huntington, WV Saltwater experience: Beats me. Being senile, I resent this question. What year is this? Only one salt tank, FOWLER for quarantining fish & keeping lots of live rock for customers. Can't work any more, no more customers now. Currently setting up a 90 reefer for myself now, will probably drop dead before it's finished. I'm ready to die. Where did that Lionfish icon come from? I don't remember that! Where am I? Who are you people? |
