Meg, welcome!
Might I suggest you start a "Tale of the Tank" to give us all the info and pictures of your tanks.
Again, welcome and ask away if you have questions.

Welcome Megs!
What are the dimensions of your tank? The reason I ask is than it looks more like a 75 gallon tank. I recently set up a 65 gallon tank and I just took down a 8 gallon nano I had for 2 years.
Any questions you might have, just ask, this is a great place to get info and suggestions.

Thanks Brian,
I got the tank on craigslist so I may be wrong about the gallons it is 48 long 21 tall and 13 wide. Hopefully I am going to go out this weeken to pick up some more softies for it just focusing on easy corals now until it is more established.I still have alot to learn and sure I am going to have alot of questions

You can calculate the water volume in gallons by (in inches) (length x width x height)/231 so 48" x 13" x 21"=13104/231=56.7 gallons ... oh and welcome aboard....
Or if you're lazy, like me, just go to the ReefCentral Tank Calculator. Yep.....56.7!

don't underestimate how lazy I am – the street address for the house i grew up in was 231 - can't forget that # and the calculator is literally closer than my keyboard and probably less work then going to the RC and looking for the .... I've already typed too much
Hello Everyone,
I joined the club a few days ago and figured I should introduce myself. I'm getting back into having a reef tank after about a 15 year break. I had a 90 gallon reef in the mid-90's but eventually had to sell it because I was travelling too much for work. this past Fall I was given a 55 gallon tank. My 3 and 5 year old daughters had been asking for an aquarium so I figured why not. I was initially thinking about doing an African chiclid tank. After a few days of doing some research on the net and scouring craigslist and the boards for equipment, I ended up with a 120 gallon oceanic tank and heading down the reef path. My tank has been running since November and knock on wood so far so good.
My wife and I are originally from Philly but moved to NJ about 10 years ago. We just recently moved from Haddonfield to Mt. Laurel with our two girls, newf and our cat. My other addiction is saltwater fishing.

Hello everyone,
Started my first saltwater tank in November. It's a 150 with a dogfaced puffer(aka puppy puffer simi) and a kole tang(yet to be named) so far. I want to thank everyone who offered there help over at your forum on RC. I appreciate the time you all took in responding to a non member. I haven't posted pics yet and am going to wait til it gets really mature. Then i will do a "fast forward" of my journey. BTW, for those who responded to me in crisis mode, i finally found straight boards.
Thanks again,
Christine

Joined not long ago, a week or so, over 50, memory's not what it used to be. Anyway, been cursing at my fish for 43 years, aquariums are supposed to be stress relievers aren't they? 210 gal mixed reef, mainly sps, 125 gal fowlr, 75 gal qt. My next words have gotten me some scathing responses from other reefers, so here goes, I keep large Angels in my reef. There, I said it, and I'm proud. 1 Queen Angel, 1 Asfur, 1 Blueline, 1 Emperor. It is time for the Queen to come out, she's been in there for 2 years, need a place for the Personifer to grow up. Live in Cherry Hill, work in Cherry Hill, probably die in Cherry Hill. Thanks for letting me ramble.
