I don't think I said "hi" to people here...... My name is Ryan, havn't posted much here, but I plan to. I did my research before diving in, and now I have 3 saltwater tanks going. You could say I've been bitten by the reef bug!
First tank is a Nanocube 24Dx.......FTS.....

Second tank is a Finnex 4Gallon Pico........FTS.....

And the last saltwater, mose recent startup is a 45Tall.....FTS......

I have some good friends locally to help. Steve of Steves Aquarium Serv is a big one. He has supplied me with ALL of my live rock, for a great price of freeeeeee.
And helped with advice and his general knowledge of fish keeping.
I have been keeping aquariums for years, and when I decide to do something I usually go overboard! lol........anyway there you go, I look forward to having a great relationship with all at RF.

It's definately more work. But.......it's neat to do, we can be in the kitchen and just watch everything goin on. I have a Yasha Goby and Pistol shrimp pair in there, and they are cool to watch!

what do you mean by more work?

Well......weekly water changes, and water test's. it's only 4 gallons of water....so swings are fast, and bad.
So you really have to be on top of it.

Picos require tons of constant maintenance to be successful

Thanks! Although the rockwork has changed in the 45 due to removing a Clarki Clown pair...... UUgh.
