Hi all I am new

Hi there everyone
Well i am a new member of this great website. So i guess i should introduce myself then .
My name is ben and i live in Australia. I am 21 years old. I am curently studying applied science at Uni, and going to major in biology. Mainly environmental stuff.

I have had freshwater fish for ages and ages. I have had almost everything from tankbusters to my beautiful discus, that i have currently.

At the moment i am trying to get my discus to breed, which is alot of fun BUT.....

I am moving into the world of marine. i am currently in search of a marine tank, well starting up a marine tank . I am looking at starting a 4 x 2 x 2 tank which should be approx 120gallons.
I am really excited to do this and cant wait. But its going to take time.
But i will keep you all updated with my progress as it comes along LOL.

So yeah jsut wanted to introduce myself and get to know some of you as i no that all of you will be able to help me, as you are all like experts at the whole marine thing (I have seen your tanks from the pictures they all rock)

Anyway i ahve taken up enough of your time and yeah thanks for having me on your site
cheers

Welcome to TRT!!!



a 120 is a good size to get started with. the longer you take in studying what you want in the tank the better off you are.
