Default Hey there!

Hey there 3reef.com! My name is Tristan and I'm new to the world of saltwater aquaria! Right now I'm trying to keep a 75 gallon aquarium out of my college dorm room - at least I have a flat power bill.

Hope to get to know you all much better as the weeks go by - and learn as much as I can!

See you around.
~Tristan

See you around.

Salutations and welcome!

Hope you are planning to live in that dorm room for long, long time to come...what are you going to do about holidays and summer vac.

A 75 is hard to readily move.

Might want to consider a nano to begin with.


Hope to "see you around" also.

Good Luck!



Scott

Welcome!

You're in a dorm with a 75 gal? Wow, you either have a lenient campus or they don't know about a tank that big. Most campuses don't allow above a 10 gallon.

Good luck. How do you deal with it when the dorms close?
