Hey all. My name is Kris and I ve been a salt water reef keeper for the last 10+ years. I have had many set ups and many sized tanks, but this one I have decided to make my crown jewel. I have been taking my time and buying quality product to automate and enhance my chances of having my dream sps dominant tank. I am planning on becoming more active here as I become immersed in the reef game once again. Suggestions, comments, and questions are all welcome!
