Supersonic Snail's Pace tank

[BarbMazz]

Hello, everyone! I'm new here and didn't see a newcomer's thread so I'll use this to introduce myself and my tank.

I'm Barb, and my tank had LR put in on April 21, 2008. It's already loaded with corals. I've found I have no patience whatsoever, but I'm working on that! I live in Ohio, have four dogs, a cat, a husband, twin sons and a <beautiful> daughter. I'm here from RS because most of my favorite-ist peoples are here. I can't be without them, they're like family!

My system is upstairs/downstairs, with DT on main floor and equipment room in the basement

I would like to, yes... I already have some monti's and the clam in there. I'm watching my calcium levels.. once they start to drop I'll probably add the reactor. So far, calcium and mg have been staying pretty stable.. ca at 420 and mg at 1280.

Hi, Chris and Thanks! I'm loving this hobby. Whiskey there helped me with my diy lighting, and I'm very happy with it. It was great fun, and diy'ing was brand new to me. It was a great experience and his help is so appreciated!

Hi, Whiskey! Wonder no more...here I am!

Back home from Jamaica and trying to readjust to Real Life.

Andrea did a great job caring for the tank... so nice to know I can leave it with her and it will be okay.

It is always good to know that you have someone you can count on to care for things when your gone.

I spent the whole week in Jamaica in my bathing suit! Most relaxing vacation ever.. I'd go back in a second.
