Hello All,
I'm somewhat new to this hobby and BRS. I started a few months back with a 46g bow front tank. At the time I had no idea about anything, I was guided to set up an undergravel filter and run a canister filter, and not to spend money on those "expensive lights", and RO water wasnt necessary - and told that everything would be fine. WELL after loosing about 1k worth of fish and corals, I learned a lot!! NOW I still have that 46g bow, but I ripped out the undergravel filter and replaced with with a nice live sand bed, got a protein skimmer, got a reactor with BioPellets, got a powerhead for flow and use nothing BUT RO water! I've had my tank setup for about a month and have flourishing corals and fish! Hopefully it stays as good as it has been going! Just wanted to say Hi to everyone and share my brief history.
