DRC Archive General Saltwater Discussion

hello! I’m new to the forum and I’m excited to join you guys here. I’ve been looking for a local club in the delaware area so I’m glad to join! A little info about me…
I’m a Udel graduate with civil engineering and had my first freshwater tank when I was 12. About a year ago, after much reading I got into saltwater. Currently I have a 38 gal FOWLR tank with the following:

[ul][li]1 flame angel
1 tailspot blenny
2 ocellaris clowns[/li]
[li][/li][/ul]

I’m running a 15 gall sump under my tank with a map dr 7 and a Reef Octopus skimmer. Refigium has some chaeto i recently got.

Besides fish, i love biking, hiking and anything outdoors. I own a kayak that I use frequently.

Anyways I’m glad to join!

im in the process of upgrading my tank to a reef tank but my lighting is only a 2 bulb T5. So I’m thinking about getting a ricordea until my lighting is upgraded… what do you guys think?

Thanks for all the replies!! I plan to come to the September meeting until my night class schedule (still sorting that out) coincides with it.

I also uploaded some pics!
