Hey all, New to the forum here so i thought I would introduce my self and post a tank shot. I have been running a saltwater tank for about a year and a half and absolutely love this hobby. My first tank was a 55 gallon with a hang on back filter broken canopy and 2 -1 ft t8 bulbs. it was bought used and highly neglected but did not really know any better, thought.....cool, a salt water tank. after tons of research, trial and error, equipment and tank changes, tons of money wasted and lots of experience in what not to dos, this is where I'm at. I finally have a good understanding on water chemistry, the importance of research and not just jumping into things. This tank is still a work in progress but I know what equipment i want/need and the kind of tank i eventually want.

I am sure I will learn tons here and hope I can help with my many experiences of what not to dos and holy crap it worked. It sure is a science keeping a reef tank and that is half the fun of it.

Welcome to Canreef. What size tank is that?
Thanks, It is a 75 gallon. That hippo tang there is one of those things that i figured out i should have researched after the fact. hopefully i upgrade tanks before she gets too big and i need to fish er out.

Welcome fellow Ontarian!
Thanks liz.Nice to have someone local(ish):wink:

Welcome to canreef! Your tank looks great! You should maybe start up a journal thread and tell us more about your setup and husbandry :-)

Welcome!

My regal was about 2" when I bought it. A year later it's about 6-7". I'd say you have at least that long. I wish there was a dwarf version lol.

Thanks guys, I may have to start a journal just to be able to see how my tank has progresses over a year or two. i know looking back at what it looked like when i first got it almost two years ago is amazing.

thanks for the welcomes everyone.

yeah he had some serious chompers i'll bet feeding him treats by hand was a gamble.

With chompers like that I would feed with a sling shot, and it would probably have to be fish. he had to go!!
