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*).

Hey Denny. Peeling superglue off skin is almost an art in this hobby. I've lost a few layers of skin many times already. Once had a foil tube burst in my hand. That was extra-special fun!

Ian, you found a good place! :-)

yeah i cut most of it off with a razor but that made it worse for blood as the glue fused to my skin lol


it actually doesnt look bad if you dont count the huge 6" gash....or the red blotches all over my arm...or the chemical burn that kept me up all night...or the tightness when the glue dried....or the


ok it is that bad lol

Welcome!

Nothing is cooler than having a little slice of the ocean in your house, and a 90 gallon is a great place to start!

Just remember, you don't NEED that 130 dollar psychedelic open brain, you in fact just really really want it. It will become very hard to tell the difference though.

My condolences in getting involved this hobby. Prepare yourself for the inevitable mental and verbal battles with yourself, your spouse, your fish, corals, cleaning crew.... yes one day you will find yourself yelling at your tank... Not to mention the light headed experiences of looking at visa statements, dealing with DOA shipments and wondering why that fish you just bought lasted less than 24 hrs. Don't get me wrong there will be the time when your tank will look awesome!! just the way you pictured it....thats about a two day window....Reality sucks... pass the valium, have a good day.
