My display tank is a 92 gallon All-Glass Aquariums corner tank (curved front), started 29-May-99. [acronym:cf97de03a5="Live rock"]LR[/acronym:cf97de03a5], [acronym:cf97de03a5="Live sand"]LS[/acronym:cf97de03a5], Berlin skimmer powered by a Mag 7 with modified Mazzi injector. Circulation provided by a Maxi-jet 1000 on a Osci-Wave wave maker in addition to a fan-shaped return nozzle and a Mag 2 in the opposite corner from the Osci-Wave. Lighting is 3x175W 10,000K [acronym:cf97de03a5="Metal halide light"]MH[/acronym:cf97de03a5] in a [acronym:cf97de03a5="Do it yourself"]DIY[/acronym:cf97de03a5] hood with Ice-Cap variable speed fans on a 12-hour cycle. I just added two 55w Powewr Compacts for actinic. The refugium is a 20 gallon tank divided into 3 sections lit on alternate cycle to the halides. I also use my [acronym:cf97de03a5="Do it yourself"]DIY[/acronym:cf97de03a5] calcium reactor and my [acronym:cf97de03a5="Do it yourself"]DIY[/acronym:cf97de03a5] Nilsen kalkwasser reactor. I have just about everything automated including top-off.

Hello Hello
I’m new around here, but I’ve been fish keeping for years. I am quite partial to goldfish, but I’ve got an assortment of other fish that have a lot of personality. I am an armature photographer, and my fish are great subjects. |

Hi everyone. New here, both to this group and AA.
I'm in Ashburn, VA (10 minutes from the Dulles Airport) and while I've done some fish tanks in the past, I consider myself pretty much a newb. We always had tanks as a kid, multiple tanks, freshwater, saltwater, we had seahorses, lobsters, and arowana. Basically, you name it, at one time or another we had it. I've always loved it. Probably because of that, I love the water, especially the ocean, and scuba is one of my other hobbies. Since I've grown up (physically, not necessarily in attitude haha) I helped my daughter setup a 12 gallon eclipse tank that we successfully maintained for well over a year, but had to tear down to move. I've been wanting and wanting, and finally this past Christmas my wife got me a 46 gallon bowfront. Gorgeous tank, and I think a very good way to get myself into this a bit more. Setting it up freshwater, and currently about 1/2 through my fishless cycle (see my thread in the FW - getting started section for details (and to help!)). Eventually, I desire to do a Reef system, but that's definately a ways down the road yet. Anyways, wanted to introduce myself and thank everyone for this great forum! Neilan

Hi....My online name is Morningman...my real name is Jeff and I don't have any salt tanks right now, but have been keeping fish of all kinds since 1972. Right now I have 9 tanks up and running. The smallest is a 10 gallon...the largest is a 125 gallon. I currently have a breeding pair of Brichardi Cichlids, Angels, Discus, Cardinals, Rummynose, Pristella Tetras, and lots of Plecos. I have several breeding pairs of Bristlenose (brown and albino) and I have a young group of L-333's that I am hoping will spawn over the winter. I live in central Pa about 30 miles from Penn State University. I call it a hobby....my wife calls it my addiction!
