What up from AZ

Howz it? I live in AZ. An area where theres no fish stores within 80 miles. Have owned fish salt tanks in the past but about 2 years ago jumped in blind to a reef tank. So far i have had pretty decent luck. I have a 180g reef tank. Stocked with over 250 lbs of live rock, many sps as well as lps corals, multiple different shimp and crabs, couple diff star fish, giant purple maxima clam, fish etc. Almost two years and I still see stuff pop up out of the blue. There has been some loss, but somehow I have managed to to keep it up pretty well. I got the setup off a guy who had been doing saltwater/reeftanks for 25 years according to him. He gave me some basic adivice, lol. Ive deffinetly realized theres way more going on than was told and way more work than my regular salt tanks. Deffinetly open to advice and differnt thought and ideas. As I do have some questions.


Thanks for reading,

Flip

 

Welcome, I'm in prescott! Also no real saltwater stores. I have to drive down to Phoenix. Where are you? Any photos of your tanks? What are your questions?

 

Welcome to 3reef Flip.

I too live out in the desert in AZ quite a ways from the LFS. Gets tough if something breaks or you need food or test kits.

Show us some image of your set up.
