Hello Everyone. I'm Andrew Android =D

Nice to meet you all =)

I'm very glad I've found this forum site. I made an attempt on gaiaonline.com to create a community such as this, but it didn't work-- not many people with the same interest as I.

I've been wanting to find an online community such as this so that I may expand my knowlege by sharing experiences and photos with others of the same interest.

I'm nineteen years old, and I live in Florida. I own a 110gal aquarium, and my father and I share responsibilities of the tank. We've had over $200 worth of fish deaths so far, and we wish to prevent that from occurring as often-- which is why gaining the correct knowlege is so important to me.

It might take me a while to get comfortable with this new site-- but I hope it is worth it.

Feel free to message me.

Welcome to 3reef. How long has your tank been running? And there are many here who loooooove pics. Pics Pics Pics!!!!

 

Welcome Andrew!
I am new to the reef aquariums and did a lot of internet lurking before joining this site. Its by far the best, and it shouldnt take long to feel comfortable at all!;D
Pics of your tank are always welcome too!

 

Won't take you long to get comfortable here. This is one big happy family that really helps each other out. Welcome to 3REEF and you better post pics of your set up soon or the pic police will get you.

 

welcome to 3reef the folks here are kind and very helpful i think you will like it here .

 

Wow, you guys were pretty quick on the reply =D

Pics are amazingly gratifying when it comes to sharing here online, which is why I already have pics ready to show you all ^_^ They're not as recent though-- for I have yet to take some more recent ones. Most of what you might see are fishes that I've already lost D= I absolutely love angelfish, which is probably why our total loss cost is over $200. I've lost three juvenile emporers, two/three flame angels, three bicolor angels (not my type of fish-- it was dad's pick) three coral beautys, and such. Probably the most devastating loss was when my barred Jack died R.I.P. Lemon u_u I was silenced with sadness for three days after he left. We had him for a very long time, and he had such an established presence in the tank-- I bonded with him over time, so losing him was hard.

I've had my tank for over a year now. We didn't realize until recently that we needed a UV sterilizer (installed three weeks ago) and a protien(sp?) skimmer (installed three days ago) which explains why we had lost so many fishes before. Now that we have those two components-- I want to make sure there are no more errors that we have overlooked before I convince my dad to buy more angelfishes again.

Here, enjoy some of my photos ^_^

R.I.P. Lance

R.I.P. Lemon

We still have that blue damsel =) Jack's been with us since the very beginning.

This is one of my best photos =D they're all looking at the camera ;D

They both died =/

R.I.P. Sapphire D=

This one is old. We have a better looking setup now.

and... here's a pic of me! XD

 

Ooooooh I feel a group hug coming on.......!

 

Welcome to 3reef and Im the one that scenario1313 refers to the "Pic Police". $200.00 is alot of money, at least for me, so to help you stop this massacre repeat again, we need to know a couple of things. Have you tested your water lately? If so, what were the results? Need to know your routine with the tank. Luna

 

Nice set up bro.....Too bad about the fish......I have a "Lance" myself. It was an "animal rescue" from Petco. Everything else was dying in the pet store tank. He has been a good addition. So far, he has not eaten any of my snails/HCs. But he is small yet.

 

Welcome!! This is a really good site to get information.. Everyone hear is so nice even when the question is a simple one.. People hear have helped me and my husband out so much with our 26gal tank... I just became a member about 2 weeks ago.. with lots of questions.. This is awesome sight...!! Hope to hear more about your tank as well as see more of it!!! Welcome again!!! ~Angela
