Hi, my name is Mitch and I've had reef tanks since 1999 and I had FW tanks in the late 70's when I was in grade school. This is the most rewarding hobby and it keeps me off the streets and out of the bars, j/k. I've spent a lot of time on some big reef sites but I'm looking for something in kin to a "small town atmosphere". I hope to spend a lot of time here and hope to learn a lot as well as contribute. I plan to start a build/progress thread right away. So now a little about my current tank and a FTS.

Equipment

It's a 50 gallon Glasscages acrylic with a 24" x 24" x 14" eurobraced open sump. I have 2 AI Sol led fixtures, a vortech MP10, recirculating reef octopus skimmer, Tunze controllable Silence pump for a return, Reef Keeper Elite controller, plus some miscellaneous and minor equipment.

Livestock

Five fish: fireball angel, flame hawkfish, sixline wrasse, royal gramma, ocellaris clown. Corals: zoanthids, mushroom corals, green star polyps, and stylophora SPS. I am still new to corals but am excited about learning and getting a lot of them.

 
Is there a way to edit posts after posting them? because I forgot to add inverts: skunk cleaner shrimp, emerald crab, and 1 turbo snail.

Laurel/Billings-I worked a couple seasons up on the mountain in the "big sky" country though. Gotta shred when all it does is snow for 9months.lol. Now I traded it in for the opertunity to hit the beach 9months out of the year-and 12 if you really need it. Miss the land but not the weather :)
 
Hi and welcome! My boyfriend lived in Montana a few years ago! He wants to move back when we retire bc no income tax or property tax on vehicles. However, he is now absolutely terrified of even a draft! I think he is now more inclined to end up in a place like FL ;)

Best of luck! have tons of fun here and feel free to ask any questions! Your fish are beautiful! We have a 55 with two ocellaris, a lawnmower blenny, and 2 chromis. We have two emerald crabs, sally light foot crab, halloween hermit and lots of other hermits and snails. We were wanting a Flame Angel, but heard they sometimes pick at SPS and zoas corals... have you had any trouble with your flame angel?

Hey I went to Rocky Mountain College for a short time in Billings though I live in Libby. Yes the winters are awful.

Yeah Montana is one of the last states to not have a sales tax. I don't mean to be particular but I have a flame hawkfish, not a flame angel.
