Hi there everybuddy,
I just registered, and thought I'd say hi. I'm just getting back into this hobby, after about a 8 year hiatus. Had a 50 gallon brackish tank back then, with Zebra Scats and Figure 8 Puffers.
I'm just about to purchase myself a 72 gallon Bowfront, and am currently deciding what I want to do with it. I haven't even decided on Fresh, Brackish, or Marine yet, let alone what species I might be interested in. Going back to the Brackish with Scats and a Puffer or two will be my most likely choice because I love those two fish so much.
I've forgotten so much that I basically am having to start from scratch again, learning everything. I initially was shying away from Marine, because I thought it was just so much work, and time to keep the thing up, but maybe technology has advanced enough now that I might try it. Just too many options open right now.
This site looks great, however, and I'll definitely be posting more when I start making decisions on what type of tank (fresh/marine) and what sort of filtering equipment to go with.
One quick question, however...The tanks with the overflows in the corner...are they only for marine environments, or would that be appropriate for a fresh/brackish tank, too? The difference in price isn't that much, but I dont want to buy the overflow model until I know what kind of tank I'm going with, if the overflow is not usable for anything but marine tanks.
Thanks and Howdy!
