Cornbread’s Life
New Member
Thank you for allowing me to be a part of this great community!!! I’m sorry I’ve taken this long to introduce myself. My name is Allen Starling and I live in Georgia. I’m happily married and have three children who are mostly grown. I’ve been interested in this hobby for most of my life, but life has been too busy to enter into it. Life is still busy as I run my own HVAC company, but at least I have the money to dabble in it. Maybe if I win this billion dollar lottery I can jump in like Andrew Sandler, man what an inspiration!!! I picked up a great setup from another local, it is a IM Nuvo SR80 AIO with the stand and a Reef Breeders 48” light. So far I’ve obviously went through most of the newbie problems such as dinos which I defeated, now I’m winning the battle of green hair algae, but somehow I’ve gotten aptasia and bristleworms. I’ve been working all my problems out naturally so it’s a process. The aptasia seem to be winning despite my four peppermint shrimps attempts to eradicate them. I’m currently searching for a aptasia eating file fish. I’ve toyed with the idea of getting an arrow crab for the “Tremmors” as I call them, bristle worms, but I’m worried he’ll grab some of my fish. What day you on this subject? As most of you probably have went through this starting up you realized your maintenance regimen isn’t up to snuff as I have now noticed, but I like the challenge. The tank has been up and running since June of this past year. Most all of my corals and fish have survived. Sadly two Ignitus anthias and a cole tang have not made it. Oddly the second anthias to die I never found. I figured the CUC made quick work of it one night. So far I haven’t been too discouraged about it because that’s life right? Well like I said I appreciate being a part of this salty crew of scallywags and hope to learn more from all of you!!! God bless!!!
