JoeDaddy February 1, 2008 February 1, 2008 (edited) Hi, I just wanted to shoot a brief intro to WAMAS community. I just got my 55 Gallon Tenecor Aquarium w/built in overflow for Christmas and decided to go saltwater. Much like a lot of people, my first stint into the hobby was with Freshwater fish but since this tank had a built in overflow with an AMiracle SL-50 Wet/Dry sump, I decided to give my hand at Saltwater. I had always been interested in Saltwater but I was always daunted by the costs and complexity. Anyway, It's only been a month and I am already hooked! My current setup is as follows: -55 Gallon Tenecor Stand w/ built in overflow -Amiracle SL-50 Wet/Dry w/ Rio 1700 -SeaClone SCPS 100 Skimmer w/ MaxiJet 1200 -For water flow I am running 2 Rio 600's and 1 Maxi Jet 900 w/ Hydor Flo attachment -Orbit 4x65 PC Lighting -75 Lbs of Live Rock -Coralife PureFlo II RODI Inhabitants: -Yellow Tang -Six Line Wrasse -2x Maroon Clown -Pajama Cardinal -Canary Blenny -Yellowfin Damsel -Neon Goby -Electric Blue Clam -Porcelain Crab -Coral Banded Shrimp -3x Peppermint Shrimp -Multiple Hermit crabs -Multiple Snails Corals: -Cabbage -Orange Zoas -Xenia -Colt -Bubble -Spaghetti -Green Mushroom -Red Mushroom -Hairy Mushroom -Star Polyps -Plate Coral Anemone -Seabae -Bubbletip I will take a few pics and update this thread this weekend. I picked up a lot of the frags and live rock from a guy leaving the hobby so I'm not sure if I have all the right names down. Maybe some of you can tell me exactly what some of these things are! Anyway, I hope to learn a few things from people here as I am currently already thinking I need a bigger tank! ~JoeDaddy Edited February 1, 2008 by JoeDaddy

rsarvis February 1, 2008 February 1, 2008 (edited) Welcome! Sounds like a great set-up. That's a lot to put in in a month, so be careful of going too fast, but sounds like you're having fun and know what you're doing. Can't wait to see pics! Edited February 1, 2008 by rsarvis
jamesbuf February 1, 2008 February 1, 2008 Welcome to the club. Best $20 I've spent in the hobby. I'm sure you'll come to agree.
JoeDaddy February 2, 2008 Author February 2, 2008 Welcome to the club. Best $20 I've spent in the hobby. I'm sure you'll come to agree. I agree, although each $20 does seem to add up doesn't it? Wow - you really work fast. Welcome to WAMAS! I'm quite the obsessive personality. Once I commit, I dive completely in! Thanks. I must admit I wouldn't have all of the frags and fish if it weren't for this guy I bought my live rocks from. Welcome! Sounds like a great set-up. That's a lot to put in in a month, so be careful of going too fast, but sounds like you're having fun and know what you're doing. Can't wait to see pics! I'm an avid forums browser and was doing a lot of research before I actually bought my tank. I'm waiting for the corals to open up and I plan to take a trip to Mr. Corals today then I'll be posting pics of my newbie tank. Welcome!!! Hope you can join us at the next meetin on February 16th I plan to attend. I do have my niece's birthday party that day but I plan to rush right after and see what these meetings are all about. Hi, Welcome to Wamas! Thanks for the warm welcome everyone! I'm glad I paid the money for membership. I'm usually a lurker on forums but it seemed like a good club to join.
