Hello from Middle Tennessee!!

Hi All!

I have been keeping tanks for just over a year now and current have six tanks up and running, 5 freshwater and 1 salt. I am looking forward to crossing over into reef keeping now. My new lights are being shipped as I type this (T5), along with better testers for mag/po/refrectormeter,ect.

It's amazing how inadaquate you find your saltwater equipment once you want to go over to coral, now I have to build a new stand just so I can have a nice big sump w/refugium. My two Ehiems won't do.

Figured I'd start with soft coral as they will be more forgiven until I get every thing perfect - ah the elusive target.

Looking forward to reading all the great knowledge everyone has shared and contributed based on my newbie experiences.

Welcome and good luck with the reef. You will have ups and downs so just stick with it and remember stability comes with age so don't get discouraged. I used to love my freshwater tanks, but I am addicted to my reef. My Rainbowfish still get fed so they don't seem to mind too much.

Bought my first corals last Saturday - OMG how awesome this is. I feed some mysis and watched the yellow polyps slowly devour them- that was amazing. I would say 'corals' are my drug of choice *smile*. I still feed my freshwater fish twice a day but they are definately not as fun to feed as the coral.
