Hello - another noob to join in the fun.

Hello all! Well, I had a nice intro written up, and then hit the back button instead of the submit button... so this will be shorter! Glad I found this community though, I'm looking forward to joining in the fun of keeping and caring for all these marine creatures!

A short bit about me - I'm a total newbie at all of this, having gotten my first tank at the beginning of the year through craigslist! Ended up with a 90g drilled complete with fish! Being the kind of guy I am, I now want to upgrade pretty much everything, and start with a brand new setup (eg - the fish have to go...). I've loved marine-life my entire life, and only recently had the courage to actually maintain a saltwater tank, despite having wanted one since being a kid!

Current Specs and Stock:

Tank: 90g, drilled, 20g sump (thinking of upgrading), random powerheads to upgrade, ProClear Skimmer to upgrade, T5 HO lights (to upgrade when the bulbs dim), and a Mag 950 for the returns.

Stock: Raccoon-faced Butterfly fish (needs a bigger home), Yellow Tang (needs a bigger home), Six-line Wrasse (hear they get aggressive, so also needs a new home), Yellow Damselfish (also could use a new home), Orange Linkia, 4 Turbo Snails, and several red-legged hermits (that I hear eat anemones, and so need a new home). - Yes, I am redo-ing my entire stock minus the linkia! Once I find new homes for these guys of course.

Here's a photo of the tank 1 week post-move, although I am hoping to make several improvements soon! (including a decent amount more live rock)

Looking forward to all of this!

i like the tank and yes you need more rock. its like crack. those power heads def need an upgrade.. think they are older than me... hahah j/k Good luck with your plans and i hope it all falls into place for you.
 
if you look at my build thread i did a 90 also the rock i used i could get you a a decent price i think my buddy has 300lbs for sale just a thought
 
Hah, thanks Jay - I would say the powerheads are a bit... outdated to say the least! They were first on my list of pending upgrades, followed by more rock. Although, my skimmer is acting funny.... lol, oh well, its been fun so far!

Keith - I would definitely be in the market for more rock, so let me know! PM your friends details and maybe we can work something out. And I'll check out the build thread now, could always use some good ideas! Once I get rid of the fish I will be posting a new stocking / build thread...
