I am on a couple local forums in S. A. and thought I would broaden my horizons so to speak and see what a going down on the other side of the world.
First thing off I notice is some of the products that are being used for certain things, like algae control etc are simply not available this side, unfortunately... But anyway makes for great reading and learning as that what we here for.
On to my tanks.. I been in the hobby about 2 and a bit years only, but boy the bug bit me hard.. I am a huge Red Sea Tank fan as I love the all in one units, and I don't have to confuse the heck out of myself researching which hardware is best to buy etc.. Researching just keeping fish alive is in itself alot of work lol... Anyway I started with the little RSM 130D, which I did as a tester to see if I could actually hack this hobby and get to understand what's what, and parameters etc.. Well I simply outgrew that tank after about a 1yr and half, so I got a RSM 250 as my upgrade. Kept the same 130 going as a frag tank setup for future. Loved the 250 tank but that only lasted about 6 months as the more I was learning the deeper I dug into my pockets for corals and fish etc so I outgrew that tank again. [emoji16] so I found a nice RSM S650 tank and thought go big or go home, I am tired of upgrading and that was the biggest tank red Sea offered so there we have it. Sold the 250 and still have the 130 as my frag / quarantine for fish if need be. I have had my 650 for about 4 months now and just love that tank. By far the best I have owned and this shall be my slice of the ocean for some time to come.
I should start a thread on that.. [emoji1]
Hope all is well in everyone's glass boxes. Take care and have fun!!!
