Nice picture for sure

There are a fair amount of facebook pages of people who are starting in salt water. I have been posting the web addresse for this forum on some them. Some are asking what forums are good. Maybe that might help a little

I just saw this, I guess for me I have been pretty busy. I have gotten so much info here. Everything is good in my tank right now. Maybe I should think about not just coming here for advice but to be here to give back that what was given Me. Which was help when I needed it.

Clam is still doing well. It has been in my tank for almost 10 months now. Still has good reflexes and seems to be doing fine.

Very nice photo of a beautiful tank
