Greetings fish people!![emoji225][emoji226][emoji886][emoji227][emoji228][emoji245]
I've been lurking here for awhile now and figured it was time to properly introduce myself. Not sure how I missed this place but I randomly got an email about the Radeon GAW (boy that was fun). I've been in the tank hobby for about 15 years keeping fresh, salt and reefs. Started out with tanks at home as a kid and progressed to working at an aquarium store in Las Vegas for about 4 years during and after high school. Left for the military (AF) in 2004 and spent the next 7 years in Colorado Springs,CO minus deployments and had a 29 Biocube setup in my dorm for a few years. Took it down before my last deployment in 2009 and didn't set it back up until 2010 and added a 75 gallon reef to the mix. Those lasted until the middle of 2011 when we moved again from Colorado to San Diego. Moved to Gilbert, Az in 2013 after I finished Nursing school. Just recently set the tank back up (8 months) and it's just planted for the moment. We are on the third floor so no large aquariums [emoji17]. We aren't even supposed to have this one, 10 gallons is the limit. I have my 75 in storage and I acquired a 90g setup that's in storage as well. I'm trying to convince the wife that I need another 29 for the boys room so I can move whats in the bio cube to that one and setup the nano reef again. I still have my live rock, now dry rock in storage which is around 100lbs. Really all I need is sand and salt. I've had my eye on some Fuji pink reef sand as I've always done black sand and it's time for a change. Anyway I'm running my bio cube modded with InTank media racks, upgraded to Sicce Syncra 1.0 Aquarium Pump which is rated for 251gph. Using AI Prime for lighting, love the lighting controls and full spectrum. I included some pictures of the planted tank (I know it's blasphemy) and some old photos of my 75. I was just starting to get some good growth when me and wife's enlistments were up and we bugged out to CA. I would really love to mod this tank more. Gut the framing and drill the back wall for a ghost style overflow and run a trigger systems sump. Cheers and happy reefing.
