Re: New Here!!!

Hey Biffer,

I just joined up myself. I relocated to Memphis from Metairie after Katrina.

Lived in Lakeview, off canal at florida.

Had 5 aquariums myself, and lost everything.

I just ordered an AquaPod 24 gall. withthe 140 W metal halide lighting

Also ordered,

RO unit
UV sterilizer
In-line heater
Protein Skimmer

What add on's have you done with the 12 gal. Would be interested to see what you are using

NICE TANK BTW!!
