SteffiePoo March 7, 2008 Share March 7, 2008 (edited) Hello everyone! I am new to the forum but not really new to the hobby. My husband, ShawnS, got me into the hobby. I use to make fun of him and how much time he put into the tank. But I started going along with him to the fish stores and decided I wanted a nano tank all to myself. So he got me a nano from one of the members here and I am in love with it. I got my own corals, my own fish, and my own LR. Well what I thought was a piece of LR happened to turn out to be a live oyster, or something of that type. Much to my surprise, it has added a bit of unique to my tank and I love it. I wanted to show you all my tank and hope to meet some awesome people like Shawn did. Thanks for allowing me to join the forum also! Oh and btw, my name is Stephanie.

Highland Reefer March 7, 2008 Share March 7, 2008 I like this. His & Her Reef Tanks. My wife tells me she had an aquairum & never did anything but feed the fish. One Zebra was humped back. Ha ha. She said if it ain't broke then leave it alone. Now she constantly gives me a hard time about all the time I spend on my reef, much less the money. I am jellous Shawn.

YBeNormal March 7, 2008 Share March 7, 2008 Welcome to WAMAS SteffiePoo! (love the name!) Is that TampaBaySaltwater live rock or maybe some other Florida aquacultured rock? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteffiePoo March 7, 2008 Author Share March 7, 2008 Its Florida aquacultured LR. Shawn took me over to SeaSave the other weekend and I got it from them. I couldnt resist the LR over there, it was all gorgeous....BUT way too big for my tank, so I had them fishing around the tubs for smaller pieces. I really wanted a piece that had a lot of feather dusters, so I got one! I know, I know feather dusters, but I am a girl youknow.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YBeNormal March 7, 2008 Share March 7, 2008 Feather dusters are cool! I like the look of Florida aquacultured LR and if it is from TBS, you can't get rock any fresher than that. Richard usually ships the same day he recovers it from the dive site or the next day and it is air shipped in water to keep everything alive. I have about 25# in my system and really am happy with that purchase. It's environmentally friendly too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highland Reefer March 7, 2008 Share March 7, 2008 I bought some from them too. You just have to watch out for nastys that comes with it. That's how I got my Matid shrimp. I ended up buying a trap and catching him & giving him to a LFS. He was fun watch though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteffiePoo March 8, 2008 Author Share March 8, 2008 (edited) Yeah I had some Aiptasia (from LR that I had gotten elsewhere, not from SeaSave) I had to get rid of, but overall I am so happy with it. I wish I could really zoom in on the LR so that I can show you some of the stuff on the LR. It was a wonderful addition to the tank. I placed the tank in my tv room so that I could watch it.
