Hi Everybody.
I am Elvis Martínez, NJ born, raised in the Caribbean Sea, and missing every moment away from it. I grew up near a stream full of guppies and Coquí (miniature frogs). My friends and I would trade Bettas, Guppies, Gouramies, Swordtails, and more.
Fast forward several decades. I moved back to NJ and I started my first reef tank with the vision of a waterfall cascading onto floating rocks. I made the tank (90 gallons) but the salt creep obstructed the effect. To me, it was a partial victory.
I now have a 29 gallon tank, which is a temporary home for the animals that survived the leak due to silicone failure of my 65 gallon tank (a few Clowns, several zoas, a yellow-head Goby, 4 emerald crabs, 2 rock anemones, and 3 baby BTA.
I have at hand a 47 gallon cube that I will build soon as a floating reef and anemone tank. I will document the process and post it here.
I started reading this forum several months ago and would like to acknowledge everyone who gives their knowledge and experience anonymously (relatively) without expecting anything in return. I hope to humbly pass on as much empirical information as I can as well.

Hello everyone, my name is Jamie Smith and I just happened to stumble across this site and happy I did! I’ve lived in NJ my entire life growing up on the shore in Manasquan. Growing up my parents were never into fish keeping but I had a friend who’s family had a corner freshwater tank and would sit there for hours looking at it.
Fast forward to 10 years ago when I bought my first freshwater tank. I had it for a few years but was always attracted to the colors of marine tanks so I took the plunge and converted the 55 gallon to salt. I had it for about 2 years and had many failures with it and between job change and my daughter being born I just didn’t have the time to invest in it.
And now I’m back in it but reading and learning a lot more than before. I bought a 32 gallon biocube last month with the intention on building a 120 gallon system hopefully in a year or so if I can become successful with this tank.
I currently live in Manalapan with my beautiful wife, 4 year old daughter and 13 year old step daughter. My 4 year old is obsessed with the tank just as I am and I only have 2 clowns in it now lol.
