Hi BRS,
I have been dabbling I guess you'd say with reefing for a few years. Never fully commiting the time, $$ and the $$ that it needs. But I'm ready now! I have educated myself alot over the past few months and I have renewed vigour for reefing. As they say knowledge is power. Which is one of the reasons why I'm here. At the moment I have a sad 20g with live rock, RBTA, clown, damsel, pseudochromis and of course cyano and bubble algae. My cheap RedSea HOB skimmer broke and I have a HOB penguin filter. Yeah I know,.... I know. Lighted by a 130w PCFL 10kday + dual actinic. I have been buying equipment since November and I think I will be ready to leak test in a 4-6 weeks
.
Here is what I have so far:
60 gallon RR Marineland cube 24Lx24Wx25H
SC Aquariums Stand 24x24x30H
250w MH 15k + 100w T5 dual actinics
Vortech MP10es
Aqueon Sump Model 1
Reef Keeper Lite(on the UPS truck)
Over the next couple of weeks I will be ordering a phosban reactor and an AquaC EV120 skimmer which will be set up externally right next to the sump. I will be running a tiny refugium in the Aqueons middle chamber. RODI filter will also be ordered by the end of next month. Plan is a mixed reef tank with a DSB, live rock, skimmer and sump\refugium. Still have not decided where the tank will ultimately be placed. I think I covered it all for now. I look forward to seeing some cool looking tanks and learning alot. I tried to attach pics but its hard making my JPEGS small enough, ill try again another time.
