Hi,

I just started with this fantastic Hobby, I got an 90 Gal Tank with a 30 Gal sump, i use dry/wet, I have 20 Lbs of live rock, and 6 fishes ... This tank is 5 month old, Ammonia, Nitrites, are 0 ppm, Ph 8.2,, but nitrates are some time 20 ppm or 40 ppm.... i do 15% water change every 2 o 3 week... I feed them 1 once a day, and i make sure the eat every thing and try not to over feed...

any hint on how to have better control of nitrates?

I am restarting an old tank and have a question or two. My tank is a 135 flat back hex acrylic aquarium.

So the next day I get the new TV, and now have the trade bait ready to ...

Hello Everyone!

Anyways, I started with a 55 gallon tank my friend gave me and my girlfriend Maria. Since then I have had a 3, 8, 28, 33, 40, 90, and a 210 gallon tank at some point - the 210 is currently my main reef tank. Things never end though and since Maria has a love for all that saltwater has to offer the madness ...

While I was at MAX last weekend, I picked up a new camera. It's a Nikon D90 with a very nice Nikon 105mm Macro lens.

These were freehand shots, some taken from across the room and some standing in front of the tank. I just wanted to get a feel for the camera, which is quite the upgrade from my D70s.

First of all, here's my newest pet.


And now for the reef.
