Welcome!!!
Tell us a bit about yourself and the tank(s) you have.

Ok I’ve been in the hobby for over 20 years. Been in Costa Rica the last two and about a year and a half ago I started a 50g FO then upgraded to 100 gallon FOWLR. In June I switched over to full blown reef tank with lots of frags.

It’s hard to get the choice stuff that’s readily available in the US so everything I have was aquacultured on the coral side. The fish come from a store in San José and even though I ask for specific fairy wrasse for instance they send me some sort of unknown or unidentified fairy. So it’s tough to get what i actually want but what i do get us still very nice especially when choices are limited. I live 5 hrs away so going over there isn’t a great option. Hopefully by visiting the forums i can look into things I’ve always taken for granted and optimize my resources.

For instance I’ve tried to get a healthy bta but all they seem to bring in are very bleached. I want to do some research here and talk to folks about rehabbing the two BTAs I have. I think this is going to be my only option over here for an anemone.

In my 100g it’s all a mixed reef with anything from mushrooms to to some acro. I use NSW and everything is growing pretty fast.

I’m originally from Colorado. Love the hobby. Love to scuba dive love spearfishing.

Welcome! You'll definitely get lots of good advice here. Glad to have you with us. I really enjoy diving too, though I haven't done any spear fishing in years.
