Hi All,

New to the hobby (addiction?) and canreef. Currently setting up a 90 gallon reef tank. Apologies in advance for any frenzied noob style posts.

Welcome to the hobby/addiction.

Other than needing a second job, line of credit, therapist, marriage counselor, tons of patience (and medication, and/or alcohol ...then associated rehab), tank sitter, second fridge (to store the fish food), late night water transfers to ward off a tank crash(es), skin grafts after spilling superglue on yourself (sorry Denny!), falling rock structures, failing heaters, lights, fans, controllers, backups of backups, plumbing leaks, coral pests and the months of searching how to get rid of them.....

Its actually a fantastic hobby, and after a year and a bit, this has become MY primary learning resource to avoid/solve much of the above!!

Welcome, Chiz.

With Denny as a mentor . . . you should do just fine. Though, there is apparently a "super glue" incident that requires investigation. Perhaps you should consult someone else regard its usage.

Welcome to Canreef! All frenzied noob style posts are welcomed and enjoyed, its the only free entertainment we get

Also, lets face it, we've all had a "superglue incident" Heck I seem to have one on a weekly basis (usually involving me forgetting that I didn't buy the gel kind of superglue so I end up with a sort of superglue glove on my hand *sigh*).
