Hi everyone,

Name here is Jason, callsign KC0ERG. I've loved aquariums forever and have really enjoyed all of the tanks I've had over the years. Exotic goldfish are my favorite fish and I've always wanted a reef tank. I'm a theater technician by trade and have a billion hobbies that I don't have enough time to do.

I'm still in the planning stages for my 125G reef tank that I picked up off of the Las Vegas Freecycling list. It was thoroughly incomplete and included an oddly drilled acrylic tank, stand, canopy with 175W MH equipment, and about a billion pounds of crushed coral. The wood parts need to be relaminated and I need to fashion some doors for the canopy and stand. It's pretty ugly right now, but it should be an incredible tank eventually.

I'm interested in getting the thing up and running with the best equipment without spending a kazillion dollars, so these monthly orders sound like just my thing. There's no rush in getting it up and running, so I'll be buying a piece here and a part there until I have enough to fire it up.

I'm currently working my way through _Aquarium Corals_ and am finding it absolutely fascinating.

Looking forward to meeting you all soon,
Jason

Hi Jason!

[welcome]

Glad to see you here. So glad to hear you are enjoying the research part of the hobby. Borneman's book is a great one that's for sure.

Sounds like the start of a wonderful setup. Keep posting often so we can see it setup too if you are willing. Also, if you are handy it's amazing how DIY work will save you when it comes to $$$.

Hope you can make it to our next meeting! It should be a great one.

Great to have you with us Jen! Looking forward to meeting you next week.

I really do not know much about FOWLR other than the fish I keep/kept in my tanks.

Hi I just posted a thread. (Great Club) Sorry I should have looked at this first. Anyway moved here with my wife and two boys ages 2 and 12 from San Diego. Just finished cycling my 16 gal bowfront and just added my first corals today(metalic green mushrooms). I wish I would have seen this club first Id much rather buy frags from someone here at LVVR instead of getting ripped at ATM. Anyway my wife and I are Nurses as St Rose and I'm excited to find this club. Thanks, chris

Hi guys:
Is the first time that I am really into this website.
Thanks to the "undone guy" who is a member of this site
I just started with my salt aquarium about 7 months ago and eventhough i had aquariums since i was 15 years old (long time ago), this is my first salt one.
The tank is 85 gallons and right now I have 3 shrimps (2 fire and one cleaner), 2 brittle stars, 1 chocolate chip star, 1 flame angel, 1 yellow tang, 2 clown fishes, 3 damsels, 1 gobi watchman, and 2 cardinals. Am i in the right way?
Oh, I forgot, i have around 20 pounds of live rock.

juan

Hi undone guy, I did what you told my about the live rock. I still haven't goten the prime because im moving houses, but I'll do it right away. The wireless network is just fine except that the signal doesn't get very far. I just recently took my desktop to you're shop to get all the viruses out because It's been having alot of them. Now my notebook is infected to so I have to take that one now. Thanks
