Hello everyone.. just joined.. Been checking out this site for a few days.. lots of info on here. I have had two 55gal tanks for the last 14 years. I have a 15" red devil in my freshwater setup.. and have probly 5+ grand worth of saltwater fish, supplies, and such through out the last ten years..(everything always dies) but never a reef tank though.. so I now finally have started my first reef tank.. still learning on the reef aspect though. but with all the info on here, it shouldnt take me long..

Welocme to 3Reef! Just remember Reef tanks are like racecars.. The faster you go the harder you crash. Take your time and you'll do great!
