Hello everyone

[danp]

new to the site, and wanted to say hi to everyone. Had a couple of tanks a few years back but had to give them up when I moved. Am looking now to get back into a saltwater system. I ran a 40 gal system a few years ago with some terrible advice from a local store. Am looking for as much info as I can before I get started again. Just reading through the site I realize just how much I have to learn (such as some terms I don't recognize like the types of bracing on tanks; and tank terms like frag tanks). I look forward to learning from everyone and getting a new tank off the ground.

thanks for the warm welcome, as for questions I will have lots... so much so you may get sick of me. I will be attempting to relearn everything that I thought I knew. As I said before I had really really bad advice from one of the local aquarium stores locally.

For starters I have been reading through some of the threads and I can't seem to wrap my head around all of the tank related slang there is.... Is there some glossary of tank slang that I can get to have the translations to half of what I am reading?

Hahaha. So true! We really should create a slang glossary. I know when I was starting some of the slang totally threw me off. I had someone start going off about his DT... WTF is a DT? (Display tank)

Trying to have us come up with all the slang and translate, ask what means what. We'll reply and help you, and in the process I can start compiling the replies to make a glossary.

Also, don't worry about asking too many questions or think you're asking stupid questions. There are no stupid questions, just stupid answers. We're all here to help each other learn.
