Me too.

I'm new here, but I would love to get in on the meeting. Just set the tank up about a month and half ago. Would like to bring a friend from Mobile also. (He just set up his tank last week.) Don't know if I could get my wife to come along or not. She's not into this like I am. Count me in as long as ...

Snoop,

I would be happy to have a meeting at our home sometime. I'm just getting the tank setup and running. We live over in Daphne. Let me know.

Rene,

I'm very new at this also but the best I can tell, the filters you described are your only source of water circulation. You would have to have the power head before removing the filter pumps. Good thing is you can pick up a nice powerhead for less than you paid for the emperor 400.

Hey Guys, (and Girls)

I like to partake in adult beverages.
I like to eat.
I'm becoming obsessed with the saltwater stuff.
I can joke and tell lies.

Does any of this qualify me to be a part of the reef club? Who do I need to talk with to join? When are the meetings?

I have a friend who is itching to get back into saltwater. Do you have any pics. If so post em or send them to me and I'll take them to work tomorrow. He's asked me about this a couple of times.

Buzz

I'm open for suggestions. I'm only into this thing for about 2 weeks. So...what should I replace the bioballs with? Also, I've seen lots of pics where people are growing stuff in their sump. Even sand in the sump. Let me know what ya think.

Buzz

Pic of worm.

At this rate I'm gonna be going tomorrow for someore shrimp. I guess I sounded the dinner bell. So far...two more. They are munching on that shrimp.

Thats pretty sad. I'm excited about a worm in my fish tank. I guess its something alive.

I'll try to get a pic.

Buzz

So I guess I'm gonna reply to my own reply. Here is this big chunk of shrimp sitting on the sand in front of the liverock. My daughter screams..."There's a worm in the fish tank!" I'm thinking she just sees something hanging off the shrimp. Nope...Its some kinda worm coming out of the rock...

Now that I have liverock in the tank....I was told to put a piece of dead shrimp in the tank to help the cycle. Anyone have comments? I guess this will decay and create bacteria.

(Rene, You should have seen Tony flying that chopper yesterday.)

Carla, I purchased the tank over at FatFish in Daphne. Chris and Michelle have been great to work with. He is almost forcing me to go slow. Tank first....water next after everything was plumbed. Live rock only after the ph and temp were right. Absolutly nothing alive in the tank until after the cycl...

Here are a couple of pics.

Lets see if I can make this work.

I haven't bought the skimmer yet. I know its $125 (at least the one they reccomend.) I'm open for suggestions. Do I need the skimmer while the tank cycles? I do know that I'm getting the 72" AquaPro light. Should fit the tank perfectly. As far as powerheads, I've looked at the Seio's and Tunze'...
