Hello, my name is Larry Lowman and I have always wanted to start a saltwater tank,so my girlfriend bought me one for Christmas. Awesome present. Its a Deep Blue 57 gallon rimless tank. It has a 10 gallon sump with bio balls and mini g skimmer. I put in 25 lbs live rock and 60 lbs live sand. I read a little online and bought a book to get started. I have found out that I don't know as much as I thought I did. I started my tank the Sunday before Christmas and have already found out how much enjoyment can come out the hobby. I am just really grateful for all the help that the members have provided. Hopefully, in the future I can pay it forward..
A little about myself, I'm 41 and have no children. The reason I wanted the tank is to pass my free time productively. I work in a lab for an insulation company, while trying to go back to school and finish my degree in accounting. Kind of burnt out on the school thing though,trying to recharge with a new hobby. I only work half the month so I have some time to kill. I used to play sports and enjoyed outside activities but had back surgery and don't get around as well I used too.
I hope to be as helpful in the future, as some of the members have already been to me. thanks again for all the advice.
