Hello to all -- I'm a newbie here

[jbz324]

Hello all:

I'm very new to having an aquarium but seek input. My goal in starting the tank was to have something special for my kids. The whole family loves it but since we started the tank up this past September we have never really gotten fully correct just yet.

We have a 90 gallon reef tank with live rock. The current occupants (besides some snails and crabs) are:

2 Clown Fish
1 Yellow Tang
1 Naso Tang
1 Fridmani
1 Rass
1 Neon Blue Gobi

It seems that I have a problem with the skimmer - it has never worked but a replacement is on order. I recently had service on the tank and was told that I'm short on live rock and that my acrylic skimmer/filter system sucks (and not real sure about that -- it could be a sales thing) but with the replacement skimmer we'll see what happens.

I guess I could use more live rock -- if anyone have a 15 lbs piece they are interested in selling -- I may be your buyer.

In any event, I just wanted to say hello to all and hope I can be an asset here (even though my knowledge is extremely limited).

Thanks for the welcome everyone.

As far as answers to the questions .. I'll get them and post later. I'm sorry but I don;t have the answers off the top of my head. I can't promise pictures .... I'm not sure I'm technical enough.
