    Hey Everybody,
    I'm Matt from St. Louis. I've only been at this a year or so and have a few small tanks. I'm still a complete noob but I'm doing all I can to make sure my little buddies have a good home. I just thought its time to stop lurking and get more active.
    cheers

    Thanks Jason. I have a 6g nano I call my bully tank. The striped goby and pajama cardinal in there are rather ornery so they deserve each other and an emerald crab and purple lobster keep them on their toes. I also have a 36g with two occelaris, a lawnmower blenny, a six lined wrasse, a pair of bangai cardinals and a little baby orange diamond goby. It sounds like a lot but they are all bite sized. The only sizable guy is a rose bubble tip and hes having some problems lately. Hes got some crazy deformed bubbles but I'll save that for another post. Most of my coral was eaten by a euclid worm that I just finally got out (it was a long battle but I won) so I only have a open brain,
    a sad acan, a bit of frogspawn and a few zoos and mushrooms. That damn worm cleaned me out. oh well, live and learn. I also should be just about done cycling a 72g bowfront (seemed more like 80 when I filled it) that I'm really excited about. Its super loud though, thinking about lining the stand with america mat or something, not sure though. I bet you guys wont be interested but I also have two rad goldfish in a 20g that I've just started training. Right now they only eat out of my hands but its a start.
    Matt

    oh man I cant wait till that new tank is ready. Its actually a half round not a bowfront, I mix them up sometimes. I just got a sweet light for it, 2x 150mh and 4pc with a bunch of leds but it hangs over the corners a little bit so its just sitting on top of the canopy at the moment. close but no cigar.
