Froggylaydie Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 Hi there! I have been lurking (whistle) for a while now and thought I would introduce my self. I am pretty new to the hobby, started back in Jan with a 40g and just upgraded to a 180g. (No pics yet, I kinda fail when it comes to cameras lol) I am pretty much addicted at this point and have really appreciated all the cool info here on this site and all of the help I have gotten from Jason and now Bob @ Coral Reef here in Salem. Nice to meet you all ~Tia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Froggylaydie Posted June 4, 2010 Author Share Posted June 4, 2010 Hi all! Thanks for you very warm welcome I took two pics of my tank and Ill warn you now, they arent good, but I thought I would share anyway. http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l219/froggylaydie/Aquarium/2010-06-04144852.jpg http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l219/froggylaydie/Aquarium/2010-06-04144923.jpg I have a split level living room, so the way its set up right now is that all you can see is tank behind the couch, then on the other level you can see the whole thing. I think this is Peninsula style? Its very much a work in progress. The tank its self was used (and acrylic) so its not perfect, but we refinished the stand and cabinet and did all the plumbing and 55g sump/refugium. It was quite the learning experience, and is still very much a work in progress. The inhabitants are: 5 Clowns 2 Green bubble tips 1 Watchman Goby 2 peppermint Shrimps 2 Emerald Crabs some hermits and turbo snails I have a few corals: Watermelon Mushrooms Watermelon Zoanthids, and some green ones, Im not sure the name Pink Pulsing Pom Pom Xenia (ok thats fun to say out loud) Kenya Trees 2 different Frogspawn 2 kinds of Candy Canes an itty bitty birds nest coral and a funky orange sponge that my husband "had to have" Oh and the one big fish you see, well that would be my 3 year old who is very mad that I didnt buy her the Pink Cucumber she wanted today. I think thats it Again, thanks all for the great welcome. I am having a blast with all of this and its really cool to be part of this great community. ~Tia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
