Hello

[AlbertK]

Hello everybody,
I have had a fish only saltwater aquarium with hang on equipment for almost twenty years, but a little more than a year ago decided to convert to a sump based reef tank. So far it is not going too well but hopefully with your help, I will overcome my problems and be able to grow corals.

I have a 90 gallon tank (I will post detailed info in a separate thread). Some interesting points:
* I built my own stand and canopy without any previous experience in this area
* One of my fish, clown, has been with me for almost 19 years

I am looking forward to learn and hopefully contribute and share my knowledge.
