Don't forget floor supports before you put water in that 120 or larger. Don't forget to clean the reflectors on your lighting system periodically. Don't forget to close the lid on tank ( sorry kitty ). Don't forget to clean pre-filters in a drilled tank- otherwise you are storing funk in your...

Do not allow Sawtoothed Calerpa in your tank unless you have a secret desire to kill your corals, or get off on using tweezers. Do not forget to rinse out hydrometers after use unless you enjoy that panic feeling when it reads .60 . Do not put away hoses from water changes w/o rinsing them- salt...

In the beginning-Being too impatient and trying to rush nature Later- slacking up on water changes ( I have been cured since )! Recently- EVER, EVER allowing Sawtoothed Calerpa in my tank- OMG! I could be in this hobby for another few decades and still manage to come up with bone-headed mistakes.

Thank you Russ!! I wrote that down in case I can't remember and am all geared up. My tanks may not impress anyone when I send pics, but the ( hopefully ) fact that I finally CAN will impress the heck outta ME! I went to A.I. ( artificial insemenation ) a few years back for the Beefs. The only...

Then I am in good company! Thanks guys. Hey, if I get a digital camera, can one of you kind, refined old farts help me figure out how to post a pic to this place? My son said that he might have seen ol' santy clause w/one of those things. Swear I'm about stupid when it comes to these 'puters. I...

Thanks Tonyscoot! And to all that made me feel good about showing up in here. I have been perusing the forums and have found a LOT of good info and some delightfully intelligent folks in here. Thanks for letting an old fart hang around. Eventually, I hope to be able to make better use of this...

How far am I from Witchita? Like in Kansas? Oh, about a half a Continent or so- is this a test MOD? LOL. I am in SC- you know, where they haven't stopped the Civil War yet... Don't hold it against me- I am a transplanted Yankee from Detroit! Go Red Wings!

Guarda- I know it's pretty laughable, but I do not have a webcam. TRUST me- nobody wants to see me while we yap on the net-LOL. I am lucky that I know how to do email and also managed to find this site- all in the same year! Give me 1/4 point for that maybe? Perhaps Santa Clause will bring me a...

Hiya Russ! Well man, if you are in here- it must be a good place! I love your products and service at SaltyCritters. Y'all ROCK!

Thanks to all that welcomed me! TriggerMan- you asked for more info. I am not sure what you need to know. I have noticed on various sites that they list all manner of expensive equipment and such. The only thing that is even close to being special on my tanks is on my 75, which has a MarineLand...

Hello. I am new in here and kind of computer illiterate, so forgive any lapses please. I am not in New york, much less Manhattan. I live in rural South Carolina, but this looked like a nice place to be. Hope it's OK for me to be here. Been in the hobby since back when nobody knew anything about...

Hello. New here. Kind of computer illiterate, so forgive any lapses please. I have been around awhile, since way back when people knew nothing about salt or reefing to speak of. You had to guess mostly and spend a lot of time in library to learn what you could. The new technologies are mostly a...
