I'm new

Howard S · Jun 1, 2019

Hi, my name is Howard. I have a 55 gallon FOWLR tank. I am Interested in making it a reef tank. I just purchased an Aquamaxx 1.5 HOB skimmer, and nasty stuff is coming out already. I have also ordered new lighting, I ordered the Current IC pro LED 48". So I am sure I will have plenty of questions coming!

Thanks

Welcome Howard. You've definitely come to the right place for all things reef. Can we get a pic of your current setup? Maybe someone can help you with that skimmer. Be careful. Corals are addicting!

Howard,

Welcome to your new reefing family...

That's a great skimmer. Used to have one of those on an Red Sea 130.

Hi Howard! Yeah, new skimmers foam like crazy the first few weeks when you get a new one. Once your water clears up more, and the skimmer gets broken in, it won't be nearly as nasty. I'm glad you joined us! We are here if you have questions.
