Greetings everyone from Franklin, MA. I've just gotten into reef keeping and have found BRS to be quite helpful. I kept a 72gal bowfront FW tank for over 10yrs (despite the fact that my wife --- whom I met after I had the tank --- kept nagging about wanting a saltwater tank). I made a comment one day about scratches on the back glass of the tank and how some day I'd like to get another tank. Last Christmas my wife surprised me with a new Oceanic 90gal bowfront. I was psyched. I had just completely re-done my filtering system so everything was humming.
Then, several days after Christmas I came downstairs to find that my fisk were dying --- several at a time. No outward signs. Chemistries were dead-on. Despite my very best efforts just about everyone died. (There are times I think my wife may be an assassin).
To make a long boring story less of the former... I decided that since everyone was dead it was time to make a new start. My wife gets her wish. Saltwater it is! I've been researching and studying earnestly for the last few months as I planned my foray into a 90gal reef tank. I'll post pictures of that build in the next few days.
My live rock arrived on Thursday so I've just strtaed my tank cycle. So far so good.
