:notsure: Sad, isn't it!

Hi, Dory. That sounds like great site to check out. My e-mail is ralst4@msn.com BTW love your avatar! :yes: claire

tru conch, Wow! How great to have so many opportunities to dive! It's a little tougher here in IN. Lucky me...I get hooked on diving and saltwater fish, 2 pretty expensive hobbies from here! Luv em anyhow! Good luck with your instructor cert. claire:happy:

Saltymom, Thanks for the recipe! I haven't had snow ice cream since I was a kid. That sure brings back memories! We've been getting sleet for the last few hours. It gets pretty weird, listening to it hitting the windows. They keep saying we'll get several more inches of snow overnight. I...

Thanks, DEdwards, I'll check it out. claire:)

:rolleyes: Hi, my name is Claire and I'm a saltwater fish-aholic!

:santa: Are there many scuba divers out there? I got certified about a year and a half ago and love it! This summer I got to dive in the Liviing Seas exhibit at Disney World:joy: In Jan. I'm going to Crystal River to snorkel with manatees and do a couple of dives with the local club. It's...

:eek: Hi Saltymom! I'm in Jeffersonville. Can you believe this! I'm listening to tv and they're declaring states of emergency all over the place. My hubby has a police scanner and works with our local emergency management agency, so it's interesting to hear what's going on out there. Better...

:) no prob!

Wow! Small world! I'm in Jeffersonville. msrain, we're practically neighbors! And of course, Dacia we used to be practically neighbors! Too cool! Do either of you - or anyone else- know of any sort of local club or association for saltwater "nuts" like us?

Thanks, Mike!:joy:

Hi msrain! It's good to hear from another Hoosier. What part of the state are you in? I'm near Louisville. I'm brand new too - my tank's still dry. Not for long, though! The advice on this board is great. I also got my tank for Christmas, but no surprise, I picked it out. My husband is...

Wow - what a great response! Nice looking tank, spline9!

spline9 and Aidos: I really appreciate the advice and your welcome to the site/hobby/obsession. My tank is still dry - my husband has to put in the gfi so I can plug things in without shocking results! I was thinking about going ahead with another powerhead to start. I'll have to wait a bit...

Thanks, JacknJill! Gratefull Reefer, I know I have to wait until the tank cycles before adding the crew and the fish. I'll be patient (or at least I'll hold off on it even though I don't feel patient). I'm hoping that I can afford fish by then! I used up my budget getting the setup! ha ha...

anyone out there with advice/comments?

I'm so excited! After reading this board for 3 weeks and lots of research, I'm finally starting. I'm going FOWLR. From my LFS (an independent) I got a 29g, an AquaClear 70 filter, 2 visi-therm (marineland) 50w heaters, and a saltwater master liquid test kit. I also bought aragonite sand...

Thanks, guys! I really appreciate all the info. I'm planning to start with the 2 clowns, and I like the idea of starting with some live rock and adding as I can. Now I just need to make room for my tank so I can get started. claire_r :cheer:

Thanks, Lefty! I think you're right about the cardinals. I want the fish to have the best chance, so 4 seems like a better way to go. Thanks for the advice about the filters. I can't wait to get started getting the tank and starting the setup! claire_r

Hi, long time listener, first time caller. Oops! I mean first time to post. I am getting a 29 g tank for FOWLR. I've been reading this board and a book from my LSF called the New Marine Aquarium, researching for a couple weeks. I plan on having 2 ocellaris, a royal gramma, a neon goby, a...
