Mobile Bay Reef Keepers

Hello everyone I'm new to the board and thought that I would say hello and look forward to sharing info and ideas with everyone. I've been in the hobby for about 2 and half years and still learning every day. I currently have a 110 gallon cube with about 100 pounds of liverock and a few fish. I'm more into corals, but looking for a new fish every weekend. I will get some pics soon so that everyone can give opinons and ideas.

Thanks again
Jeff

Welcome to the forum Finaddict

The board is alittle slow because of the holidays.

Can't wait to see the pics.

Welcome aboard mate!!

Thanks everyone. Hope to get some pics attached soon. Just bought a nice hammer coral over the weekend at aquaworks of pensacola. Dave is pretty nice, and gives pretty good prices too. It helps that I go there a lot. Also got a nice colored ricordea. Everyone keep in touch.

Later
Jeff

I'm from a little town called Robertsdale. I pretty much lived here all my life. I'm looking forward to meeting all of you. Please let me know when the next meeting is, if I'm not working I'll try to make it. How do you find the time to take care of such a large tank? I pull my hair out with mine and its much smaller.

Cheers
Jeff

I have a dynomite hubby....he does most of the work. I am the idea person...he is the engineer and mechanic. We always say, I do all the biological, nutritional and animal husbandry stuff and he does the chemical, engineering and mechanical stuff. Somehow it works!

Can't wait to meet you in the flesh!

I'm pretty much the opposite. My wife enjoys looking at it,and I do all the thinking and working. It seems that when you think that you got everything figured out something else goes wrong. I've been pretty lucky this past year. I finally kept my hands out of my tank and everything balanced out. My calcium stays about 450 my nitrates and Nitrites are zero and my phosphates have been undectectable. Some people try to get corralline algae to grow I try to stop it. No joke if I don't clean my glass for a couple of weeks you can't even see in it. Hopefully I'll continue to have good luck. I need to start getting more corals to probagate, already been doing the mushroom and colt cutting with luck, I just can't get them to stay on any rock with superglue. I've tried everything. Got any SUGGESTIONS?

Cheers

I have had to use toothpicks because the softies will slime off too easily. I am having the same problem with my coralline. I had to spend almost 30 minutes scraping it off the glass and I can't get it to grow on my rocks. Are colt, ricordia and shrooms all the corals you have now? What color is the ricordia?

Sorry my internet was cut off during my move, welcome to the board !

Appreciate it Snoop. Excited to be here. Let me know if I can be of any help with your move. I have a pickup and a strong back and weak mind if that would help.

Cheers.
Jeff

I doubt my back will recover anytime soon. The fridge took three people to pick up, if we did not have a lift gate the fridge would not had made it.

Welcome aboard fin, there are a couple of us other Baldwin county folks on here also..
