Hi, my name is josh. After 6 years in the Army i moved back to my home town and proceeded to get a terrible factory job, which was motivation to go back to school and get a degree. To help pay the bills and keep the wife happy i got a job at a LFS. My first attempt at reefkeeping was a 55g that was set up completely wrong and was a nightmare. After discovering the store I now work at, and from lurking on this forum and others, I have learned so much about the hobby i love. I'm comfortable in saying im over most of the "error" part in my trial and error learning experience.

anyway, here are some pictures of my two current tanks

first up, 125 softy/aggressive

bi weekly 30g w/c using RO/DI and Tropic marin pro reef
55g sump, 30ish pounds of LR and a bit of chaeto
vertex in80 skimmer... I love this little thing
2x 250w MH using 20k ushio bulbs
3 1200 GPH pumps in tank
rio 10hf and 12hf return pump
ammonia, nitrites, nitrates are 0
SG 1.024

thanks for looking.
 
Grand Junction, a bit close to Utah for my taste. and thanks for the compliment :D

Nice tanks! I like the 125, never have had a chance to do much with aggressive species.

I'm from Rifle, so not too far away. Are you working at MT?

Welcome to R2R. First off.. Thanks for serving! Next, you have some nice tanks set up. Don't forget to start your thread(s) on the member's tank forum. :)
 
Welcome to r2r!!! I have a question, in the first pic what are the zoas growing on and how did you do it?
 
The Zoas are growing on the PVC that is onw fo the overflows. The guy i bought the tank used from actually gave it to me like that. He just had a rock with the zoas on it placed next to it, and they grew up on it by themselves. Thats the only thing in the tank i cant take credit for :D
