Central Illinois peeps

rayn · Dec 10, 2014

I am looking for local reefers in the central Illinois area. I am thinking Peoria, Pekin, Bartonville, and the surrounding.

Cool. I seen you have a 75. What are you plans?

new2reefing1 · Mar 27, 2015

Starting a FOWLR with plans to upgrade lights next tax season for a mixed SPS LPS tank. what kind of tank do you have? I also fix pumps (I fix pump assembly, bearing, possible rewind and balance if needed) I'll have some softies in there in about a month or so.

New2reefing1, better question is what don't I have. Currently there is a 120 reef, 180 predator tank, and 150 coldwater. Just sold a 125 predator tank. Then there are the smaller tanks for miscellaneous fish that don't fit anywhere else, some running some not.

I'm in pekin here is my tank

9balliw · Dec 20, 2015

Let's see some pics of all those setups

rayn · Dec 20, 2015

Sorry, no tanks to take pics of currently. Just moved a few months ago and still working on setting back up. All I have is a 40 QT tank. Working on the 120 again and have plans to do a shark tank at some point.

9balliw · Dec 20, 2015

Going to do a reef or predator tank with the 120 ?

rayn · Dec 20, 2015

It will be a reef. Most likely mixed to lps dominant. I am debating on picking up a used 240 that I would go predator tank on. If I set up the 150 lobster tank it would be cold water again. If I do get to do my sharks it will be a pond type system and around 800-1000 gallons.

I sold the 180 before I moved also.
