Hey you guys and gals. I finaly came around to signing up on here. Nice to know i can be on a forum made for NYC.
Just a lil info on me. Born in The Bronx, raised in Queens. Went to Suny Cobleskill for Fish& Wildlife. Now im just workin and spending my paychecks on my little zoo at home. My two 13yr old cats, Argentina Tegu, 13" Snapping Turtle, Bruno the Rat, BullSnake, 8 month SugarGlider, Foster Hampsters, two Foster Pythons... ok enough.

Ive been into Reefing for about 4 yrs now. Starting on a 45g with like 6 different florescent lights. But was some how able to keep many corals very healthy(even sps) in a almost 3' high tank and only about 90w of light. So i kept intrest.

Now keeping a 125g AGA, two 175w 14k MH,some PC antinics just for the evening. Home made 20g Sump with a Bermuda BPS-3c, and another DIY 20g prop tank( 200w PC). All chilled with a $10 wall fan, and with a small AC(only when its going over 76degrees) my tank stays about 69- 74F.

umm... I keep Ich in my tank. i have always had it but my fish dont show signs. When they do its always due to some big time stress(power out maybe). 6" Desjardini tang, and 4" Brown Scopas showed signs of ich for one week and never showed again.

well enough ranting, hope to make some friends around here, maybe in the neighborhood. If you took the time to read this thanks, maybe you were as bored as i was.

talk to you guys later

Hi there.

I also have a zoo of mine. Started off fostering for someone and providing shelters for unwanted but then I start to get attached to them and don't wanna let them go.

This week I may have to let go of a parrot because my new housemate cannot take the noise.:sad2:

sorry took so long, been workin hard lately had to tile full walls with 4"x4" tiles. anyway thanks for the replies.

yeah right now while i type my tank is 70F. i dont know why i like keeping my tank kewl but ive always figured the colder the more oxygen. And im testing a new DIY 250w MH. with the new light it was running 72F.

Ha ConEd thought they had one on me, but since i work as a Handyman i get quick access to generators. I know a few ppl over there if i hear anything ill try to keep you guys posted.

heres a few pics. sorry for the poor quality its not my camera and im not used to it much. i dont like digital cameras.

yes i like to keep low stock. but i like just paying attention to my purple rock.

thanks
