My name is Chris and I live in Knoxville. Rob D referred me to this forum and I thought I would take a moment to introduce myself and say hello.

I just started this hobby in February. I bought an established quarantine tank from a friend who was running a canister filter. I ditched the canister in favor of a sump and skimmer. Replaced the substrate and put in 50 lbs of Marcorock Key Largo dryrock. I don't know exactly how many gallons this tank is, nor do I know the technical name for the shape. But I just call it my 50 gallon bow front.

I don't have much in there yet, I am taking things very slowly. But I really like what I do have so far:

4 ricordea mushrooms
1 pulsing xenia
1 peppermint shrimp
1 banded coral shrimp
2 or 3 hermit crabs
A variety of snails
And my most valued babies......a pair of snow onyx clownfish

Here are a few pictures. I welcome any comments. Enjoy.
















 
Wow. I love your aquascape. You got some great pieces of rock there and your off to a great start.
 
Thanks. Those rocks are very porous and light. I would buy them again in a heartbeat.
 
Welcome to r2r love your tank!!!
 
Welcome. While not an official ETRC member I've been involved in this hobby for quite a long time. Your tank looks good but I'm surprised I don't see any signs of coralline in there after 3 months or so. Might want to check your Mg level and enjoy the ride!

I had different liverock in there for awhile. I've only had the Marcorock in there for about a month.
 
Welcome to reef2reef and the hobby! I'll agree with everyone your rock work looks good. Marco rock is awesome! Hope you can make it to the meeting this month.
