Introduction from AZ

[almondsaz]

Hi all. I am new to TR and wanted to introduce myself. My name is David and i have been in saltwater for a very short time, 3 years and am constantly learning. I started with a 45 gallon tank, upgraded to a 70 gallon Starfire and now have a 125 gallon with 35 gallon custom sump. I have to say if I could do it all over I would stick with the 70 gallon, really like the size and the starfire glass front.

I am one of those that will wait til I find just the right coral or fish or invert - so I am a slow deliberate collector. My passion is collecting wrasses. My favorites are Leopard Wrasses and Mystery Wrasses. The fish I have had the longest are my pair of clowns, I have had them from "nano clowns" and they are the first fish i every adopted.

I love this hobby and am impressed how almost everyone I have encountered in this hobby is willing to take the time to share their knowledge and not do so in a condescending manner. I hope to contribute to the TR Forum.

By way of introduction here is a small (poor quality - sorry) photo of the left end of my tank. Tried to have a more open area for broader circulation for the gorgonian and open swimming.

Hi David Welcome to TR.

Your tank looks great and so does your fish.

Hi David and to TR!

Your tank looks great! Your philosophy of slow and deliberate collection is the right one IMO.
