hi my name is Randy, i have been on here for awhile now just reading and learning. if it wasn't for this web site my tank wouldn't be were it is at today.

So a few months ago i bought Ace Sr.'s 30g cube and started my first salt tank. It came with a 96w PC, two 24w PC, some wal-mart fans, an urchin skimmer, and a sump. i took out the 96w and put in a 150w MH and left the two 24 as actinic. Its been running close to three months so i though i would share it with yall.

Thanks everyone, my next addition to the tank will be a red scooter bleeny if i can ever find one and i really want to add some more blue corals in the tank. Any suggestions that wont break the bank.

Blue mushrooms look nice and aren't very expensive.
