Hi Gang!
ReefHawke here to introduce myself. I have enjoyed reef keeping before for about 6 or 7 years I guess, but been on dry land for the last 3 years. I moved a tank from Augusta to Tennessee but it is history now. Never do a 9 hour drive with live ones again! I moved back to Georgia in Martinez. About 2 minutes from Bob's Tropical Fish and 5 minutes from the awesome Star Aquatics store! They have me surrounded!
you see, I got the Fiance a 6 gal Eclipse with some freshwater guys for a spell(she missed the Reef Tank) and I simply let it go. Hard to find any excitement in FW after having a piece of the Reef to enjoy. Well she complained a little about the look of it. I figured SW what would get me into it a little more. So... Round 2 coming up and Im in training! Crusty ole salt scrubbings and some wet floors, here we come. LOL
Im pretty much the newbie all over again, making some silly mistakes. Like changing 20% water but not getting it to the same temp as the tank first. Duh! Oh well, one thing about doing reef aquaria before is that one knows things happen slowly and how cruel, not to mention costly it is to introduce things before its time. I am going according to plan of using the 6gal Nano(or should I say Micro) to make me watch things closely as they are so unforgiving and keeps you on your toes. I'll be looking forward to making some reef friends here. In Tenn I was in the boondocks and there were less than 4 other reefers in a 50 mile radious from me.
Thanks for having me.
PS
lanning on going to Star Aquatics club meeting Feb 28th. Is this meeting an extended branch of the ARC?
