Welcome aboard! That's a beautiful looking tank you have. I really like the "less is more" that is going on!

Judging by the looks of your tank, it appears you could teach us all a thing or two...and I know we would ALL love to know more about it....

come and join us!  Its the best $20 you will ever spend in this hobby....our members are very very active (in fact they post at all hours of the night...some true night owls on here) and the help and comradery is second to none...I think you will forge true friendships here and grow your knowledge base and help others do the same.  We have a lot of fun here...and it still amazes me that whenever anyone has an issue or an emergency, no matter what time of the day or night, the thread lights up with responses of help. 

 

You have a real gift for the hobby! your tank is fabulous.

Nice tank. The gorgonians look happy. Are you actively feeding and, if so, what are you using and how often?

 

Welcome to WAMAS!

Thanks y'all..

 

The gorgonians are photosynthesis species..no special feeding.. they are my favorite pieces... along with the mangroves and roots haha

Do you ever make it up this way? And are there any really good stores near you we should venture to? (I drive down a few times a year to NC and SC and it would be good to have stops along the way home,lol)

There isn't much in my neck of the woods... however in Raleigh there are several good stores... its about 1.5 hour south of me...

 

I get up there from time to time.. as my screen name indicates I'm a huge die hard SKINS fan... so occasionally I catch a game... used to more before my two boys were born... also getting into the Nats some as well...

Sorry to hijack a bit, but you should check out the reef farm if you ever drive near Raleigh. They are a coral farming outfit that does some onsite sales. 

 

 

Welcome to the forum GOSKIN5, are you a member of carolina fish talk? If not, you should join there too.

Yes Carolina fish talk.. although i prefer Carolina reefers and post more there...

 

Absolutely.. the reef farm is one of my favorites.. in fact the large pink gorgonian came from there.. .

 

The reef shack is also a gem I am told.. (haven't been yet)...
