Hello from San Luis Obispo County!

1, Travis
2, Atascadero Ca
3, I have a 65gal with about 12 cichlids, a 10 gal with some baby cichlids and whoever gets the crap beat out of them. I just started a small 10 gal reef tank, its more like 7 gals. I put a diveder in and have the water fall over some foam material and bio balls then its in the refugium part with live sand a 3 pieces of live rock with 2 kinds of macro algae. 600 gph pump. 2 17w T8 flourecent tubes with 2 moon lights (these moon lights are sweet cause everything glows at night) I have a kenya tree, polyps, mushrooms and some star colony. All are frags and really small.
4, I've had fresh water tanks off/on since i was 12. Ive had community tanks and now cichlids. the cichlids are pissing me off because they beat the crap out of each other( i know iknow should of thought of that before i started with them, i did its just old now.)I still love watching them, just not the occasional changing fish around so no one dies.Just started a reef tank about 2 weeks ago. I love it!!!!! I want to change my 65gal into a reef tank in november.

6, I definately need help! Any useful info i will accept.

[travisw30]

Cheers

Hey i didnt know it was you! I invited you a social group i made up. I really want to get as many guys on the central coast together and we can set up meets like every few months. By the way what did you mean there was some petty stuff going on?

 

[ReefDreamz]

Cool....apparently there was some distention on the ccr website with their guys or something...not sure and i dont want to begin to know why...

But anyway........

Lets get something going on our own. I posted in the other thread I started.....

This seems like a great website and good reefers here in cali and on the central coast!
