    Hey all!!! Im Joe, Im a 24 year old Firefighter that just moved into a house with my fiance and 4yr old daughter. I always wanted a Salt tank and made the jump. I have a 55 gallon with Cured live rock and live sand. So far my levels are all great. Im going to stay with a fowlr for the first few months. Looking forward to learning.

    Just be sure that you build your system like a reef. This will save you money down the road...
    Fish can always be taken back but be sure you plan fish according to reef scenarios also.

    Welcome to 3reef!

    Ladder truck-cool! Thanks for your service...
