About Yourself:
Im not new to the hobby but I am new to having my very OWN reef tank managed but only yours truly. I have grown up around my parents who are both the crazy avid reefer (700 gallon reef!). That obviously rubbed off on me and when I parted from my parents to my big move here to California, I just HAD to have my own. I tried having a 12 gallon nano... Didnt last too long for many reasons. Lets just say that it was in a gym where lots of kids were present and it was OPEN top. lol bigggggg mistake. So I relocated my reef to my home and got the idea to upgrade to a larger system! Then POOF... Here comes the 50 gallon reef!
Fish Kept:
2 black Darwin Ocellaris clowns (Bonnie & Clyde)

2 Domino Damsels (Ritalin & Strattera)
2 Striped Damsels (Adderall & Skitz)
1 Algae Blenny (Lenny)
1 Cleaner Shrimp (Jacque!)
1 Coral Bandit Shrimp (Pierre)
So yes your probably wondering how I keep them all alive.... The trick is lots of hiding places and an excellent filtration system!

NEVER in your life rush to get everything you want. Just remember that you will regret it because its like throwing money away. I learned that the hard way. As hard as it sounds, just take your time and everything will be perfectly fine.

I can't really remember how I got started in the Saltwater tank hobby. I started out in high school and had a nasty swamp for a freshwater tank and then I was over it.

About Yourself:
My boyfriend actually talked me into us getting a tank for our apartment. Over the years he has had many and his dad actually has a 350 gallon that I have always admired. I am now a FULL BLOWN salt water junkie!!! I even made a book full of laminated, color photo and brief description sheets for EVERYTHING in the tank that we fondly refer to as "Our Fishy Family" book . It's nice to use as a quick reference and our visitors seem to enjoy looking as well.
Anyone know of a support group we could join?
