I am new to the aquarium hobby. I really want a reef tank, but my wife says to start freshwater first to see how I like it. Actually, she only agreed for me to get a tank because her sister wanted to get rid of her 55g tank. I got the tank and everything to run it for free, along with a couple fish and huge algae eaters (plecostamas - I am sure I spelled that wrong)
I bought a nice stand, tried to figure out what type of fish I have, and a quick visit to Gerwin helped me tremendously (seems like a gold severum and and either a different type of severum or convict fish)
Anyways - just wanted to introduce myself and hopefully we will be talking reef tanks soon - but until then I will quietly pant at nice set-ups and maintain the tank I was fortunate enough to get my wife to agree to
That is where alot of us started out. And things just start getting out of hand and one thing turns into another and then suddenly you have a Big Ole Saltwater tank. Feel free to ask questions of all types, fresh and salt. Be sure to post up a picture of your tank. We all love pictures!
