    Default So here we go>>>A new hobby

    My first salt tank.

    Joshua made me buy it!

    I bought it from Captexas from the MAAST classifieds. (Thanks Chris for the xtra goodies)





    the salad bowl



    Painted the back black



    The set up down below



    One of the live rocks



    Aquarium Masters service is the bomb! They hooked me up, and will be my primary source of goods. (found them here on MAAST also).

    Wish me luck, I have no idea what I'm getting into..lol.

    Congrats! Great looking tank, welcome to one great hobby!
    I've got a skimmer for sale that's perfect for that sump... let me know if you're in the market.

    nice score..how come the heater is not submerge in the water? is it on?
    Reefing is just like cooking, all the ingredients have to be just right , except you don't have to bring the water to a BOIL...

    Glad to see you got the tank up and running. My living room is awefully empty right now! On the heater, that is a heater I had before I got that tank. Because it is so long it really doesn't fit in the sump so I always hung it in the corner overflow in the tank, which wasn't the most effective location. If you are going to run that heater, it needs to be sumberged completely or up to the line at the top so it doesn't overheat and break. Other than that, it looks good!
