    Hi, heard mention of this site and decided to take a peek.

    Haven't really looked around this site much yet.

    My tanks suck. Low budget, nothing exotic. But I do love my fish and they are healthy. Almost a half year with my tank up and running, and it gets uglier by the day.

    I'm not sure which section of this place will catch my interest so I shall wing it for now.

    Hope to see ya all around this place :sunny:

    Welcome!! You're preaching to the choir about budget. I'm maintaining a 55g in college. It's great isn't it?lol:)

    Naw, just singing along with ya :hehe:

    Maybe I can learn some tips :cheesy:

    My $6 Velvet Damsel is the coolest fish on the planet. AND I haven' killed it yet ::)

    Linda, I need to clean it first (oops) and then it is not much either, and to get the fish to sit still for the photo op is nearly impossible.

    Grettle is my centerpiece damsel, not a scale out of place, perfect color and great disposition. (eats everything LOL) My first fish, bought her for her markings and color, just an absolutely beautiful fish. Trippled in size already, not like my yellowtail (Hansel) who is mellow and small.

    A mellow yellow-tail?!!:eek: Wow, don't think I've ever heard of that.;)

    Did you say tips? We love tips at 3 reef. In fact we could go on forever about them. Tell us some about your tank and we'll see what we can do.:)

    That is relative to the Velvet Damsel
    I get yelled at and scolded when I tell the truth about how I set up my 29 at first. But I haven't killed a fish yet :thumb_up:
