 |  Hello from PA
Hello everybody  I am Art Curnew from PA.
I am a newbie to SW  and had the mistake of letting the LFS tell & sell me everything I needed to start a 45 bow SW tank:mad: Of course I did not do my homework first and read up but have since learned a valueable lesson!!!
I will be posting a "few" questions in the newbie forum and just wanted to say hi and I'm thankful to be a member... |

Glad to see you aboard!  To 3Reef!!!
Is sad that an LFS would take advantage of a new tank purchaser. Is really cutting self in throat, as he should expect you as a significant customer once you start to stock your tank.
Thank goodness, few like that.
The web can take care of most of your needs, if you don't have another LFS close by.
Have fun. Starting up first SW tank is a great experience. _________ AG "125," AquaC EV 180, 30 gal sump, "SCWD", 80 lbs LR, CoralSeaLife "Moonlite" Hood, PFO 250W HQI Mini-Pendant (SPS HQI 14000k bulb)
