    Hello 3reefers

    I'm not only new to this site I'm also new to the wonderful hobby of marine tanks. A little about me

    I live in Toronto Canada and have always had a aquarium but FW. I started small and now I have running my pride and joy a 265gal FW Planted Aquarium. However have just bought a 65 gal marine tank that has been running for the past 6 years at the LFS. They came and installed it at my home and its been up and running for about 4 months. Its a fish and live rock only tank. A couple of days ago I added a pair of clowns to the tank. I had a yellow and blue tang in there also as well as a dozen or so hermits, a few turbo snails and this great African Red Knob Star (well not great if you have a reef tank!!!!).

    I have a fuval canister 404 and a aquaclear little hang on the back job.
    A coralife protien skimmer 125g size (completely new for me) hang on back
    Two Maxi Jet 1200 power heads
    heater of course (live in Canada)
    75 lbs of live rock
    lighting is just T8's

    I have soooooooooo many questions and i don't even know were to start. I will spend the next few days reading through the posts to answer many of my questions. Then anything I'm unsure of I will ask away !!!!!!

    I have devoted much of my spare time studing FW and SW fish and have some what of a good knowlodge of them. I hope I can help out in this area.

    Looking forward to my time here.......
