180G Reef tank with SPS |
| About Yourself: |
We started saltwater aquaria in 2007 with a brthday gift from my spouse: a 95G Oceanic Wave reef tank. Within months, we were looking for a larger tank! The 95G now houses my wife's breeding seahorses, (Hippocampus Reidi) and a nice collection of zoanthids, palys and other safe corals for the seahorses... |
| Advice: |
The first and most important lesson I learned in saltwater aquaria: Be patient, grasshopper.
Find an honest, experienced LFS which specializes in saltwater, join a local club, and seek advice constantly. Start with as large a tank as you can manage...that will only delay the desire to upgrade! |

Javier who has created this site has it rigged so you can't even vote on our pictures (Ryan - The Shepherds Reef Killer who built our tank has a tank posted which is NOT even his - we are done playing your third grade games) We are going to solicite the advertisers and make our own web site and do what we want on it so don't worry we'll be back ad # 1 again just like we were meant to be!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Left side of tank (08-08) Established only 3 months now - Check out our full tank pictures as well.........
(IMAGINATION AND DETERMINATION ARE THE KEY FACTORS FOR US) Every kind of fish you can think of that everyone says you can't keep together, we have in the tank - (Our Tank was custom built by Ryan - Thanks!!!) -
WE PURCHASED EVERYTHING IN OUR TANK FROM JEFF'S EXOTIC FISH IN COSTA MESA (714) 540-0880 THEY ARE VERY KNOWLEDGABLE AND CAN GET YOU STARTED EVEN IF YOU JUST WANT A LITTLE NANO TANK. THANKS GUYS!!!! |

| About Yourself: |
A very costly hobby, but one we can always do together |
| Advice: |
My husband had a reef tank years ago. We just started up a new one again a several months ago and absolutely love it. It is a great hobby you can do together. Flow ! Flow ! Flow and lots of live cured Rock!!! Salinity and temperature, because one wrong element can ruin your tank. We feed alot so all of our starfish live for several months, also not everyone can keep a flame angel, coral beauty, purple and yellow tang together in the same tank so luck was on our side (IF YOU DO NOT LIKE OUR PICTURES THEN YOU DO NOT HAVE TO LOOK AT THEM, BUT VOTING 0 IS VERY NEGATIVE ON YOUR PART) PLEASE JUST MOVE ON - THANKS!!!! |
