    Hello!
    I am new(obviously)
    I just wanted to introduce myself.
    My name is Alex. I am a manager at a Dayton, Ohio based aquatic store/pet store.
    I am a manager and also I manage our reef and saltwater section. we have a built in 180 gallon tank into the store. I'm currently reorganizing it and need to post the before and after pictures.
    I basically wanted to gain some more knowledge, so I can do my job better and also help maintain my own tank.
    I have a soon to be 90 gallon surfline set up.
    Which will include.

    Perfecto/Marineland Surfline Tank, Prestige stand and wooden canopy.
    Visi-therm Stealth Shatterproof Heather
    Marineland C-360 Canister (Until I get a trickle down system)
    Satellite Compact lighting
    I have sand of course, but yet to get my Fiji live rock.

    At work I have a 180 Reed built in. 30 gallon sump with protein skimmer and custom built wet/dry system. No Bio-balls I use life rock frags.
    And Aquapro HQI dual Hallide with blue lunar lights(makes the tank look amazing at night)
    No top, light is suspended from ceiling.
    200 lbs, live rock
    Yellow Tang
    3 Banner Cardinals
    And three green chromis
    Coral wise, as it always changes I have
    A spaghetti leather coral
    Orange Carnation
    4 leather corals
    3 Xenia Polyps
    2 Open Brains
    1 Red Organ Pipe
    4 Zooanthid polyps
    15 small coral frags
    2 Green Hammers
    That might be all.

    Anyhow, looking for lots of advice. I add supplements of course. I am always willing to learn more, esp. about lighting coral compatibility with fish etc.

    Welcome. Nice to see an LFS manager wanting to learn more about the hobby. We need more just like you instead of the ones that don't know what they are doing.
