Hello I'm new to the board and new to the hobby. Just wanted to say hello and show you a picture of my starting tank. It's been up and running for 5 months.

Welcome!:cheer:
Tank looks good. Is this a fish only tank?

It looks good Victoria2. Welcome to the board.

Thanks Brownleaf and JKVJL, It's a fish only with live rock NOW but I'm starting to get into corals a bit. I'm trying to work slowly at it. It's something I really enjoy my husband is into also it's something we do together to get out of the house. Once we get used to it we want a bigger tank.

Is that tank a hexagon or a pentagon? I have a Pentagon there kind of tough to work with.

Looks good, welcome to the board

Welcome! Your tank looks great. Be sure to jump in here any time you have a question or add something, or just want to gab.

Gotta ask what lighting your using???? I have a 42g hex that looks like that and I am trying to upgrade my lighting and cant find any help. What lights are you using?
It looks great btw.

Nice tank. Be careful of starting a reef with your cc starfish.
He will eath them up.
Come here for all of your questions, very knowlegable people here.

WOW :joy: I don't know if you guys are being nice to me or what. I was scared to even post my tank on here because of all the nice tanks. Mine dosen't compare. But I'm working on it. Ever since I switched to only RO water it's really cleaned up. To answer on of the questions it's a PC light I don't know the specs on it but I do know it's a PC.

you will find that no one judges each other tanks. This is hobby that we all enjoy. We are here to help each other out and hope that the advice is taken. This can be terribly expensive so everyone does what they can. I dream of a large reef one day, but for now I have 2 kids in catholic elementary school and my daughter heading into braces in 3 weeks....

I have a 47 gal. hex also, And I'm pretty sure everyone started out a little more bare than we are now! I'm working on a picture to post for lighting suggestions since this tank is tall! I love my tank and can't wait for the new 110 coming soon! Have fun we are!:joy:
Pam WELCOME

I just ordered a PC light from a friend on this message board in the trading area. I hope it help's my tank as much as it has helped yours.

You are so lucky to have a supporting spouse!!! We all understand all the time, money, creativity, patience, attention, etc, etc... So nobody is "just being nice" when they compliment your tank!! Nice tank, by the way!! Oh yeah, & WELCOME!!!
