Hello from PA

Hello everybody;D I am Art Curnew from PA.
I am a newbie to SW:-/ and had the mistake of letting the LFS tell & sell me everything I needed to start a 45 bow SW tank Of course I did not do my homework first and read up but have since learned a valueable lesson!!!

I will be posting a "few" questions in the newbie forum and just wanted to say hi and I'm thankful to be a member...

 

Hello Art! Welcome to 3reef...
Best of luck in your saltwater endeavors and hope your journey is a smooth one.
Read and research is the best way to ensure that your experience is a positive one, and will get you on the right path.

 

Glad to see you aboard!

To 3Reef!!!​

Is sad that an LFS would take advantage of a new tank purchaser. Is really cutting self in throat, as he should expect you as a significant customer once you start to stock your tank.

Thank goodness, few like that.

The web can take care of most of your needs, if you don't have another LFS close by.

Have fun. Starting up first SW tank is a great experience.

i had 3yrs of death in my 1st tank from a lfs advice.a new store opened called under the sea in cranberry twp pa. and they helped me fix everything.they also told me to go on reef forums and that helped even more.things are going great now.by the way,this is probably the best forum i go on.

 

Hi Art, im in Pa too I usually go on DFS (drs.fosterandsmith.com) to do product research. then i go on forums (yay 3reef) and ask pros like Coral Reefer and all the others who band together to make this hobby worthwhile.
Check 3reef whnever you can....you learn AMAZING things!

 

Welcome to 3reef Art .... Everyone here gives good and knowledgeable advice.... I agree with coral reefer that reading and extensive research will set you in the right direction and give you an understanding of the science behind the hobby and an understanding of the animals we take care of.
