hello from Mission Viejo, CA

[5ft24]

Hey Everyone, Dave here from Mission Viejo, CA.
currently have a 75G mixed reef, 20G sump and am building an external 20G refugium.
Started the tank in September of 2010, and so far have had a few of the typical plagues LOL Saw my first Aiptasia this morning, so I'm on the warpath again.
Other than reefing, my hobbies are Guns, Cars, Computers, electronics...
Thanks for having me!

Welcome to R2R! Your tank is off to a great start, just watch those palys as they grow quickly and tend to take out other corals in their path.

[sprinklerdudes]

welcome to reef 2 reef, looks like a good set up, have you started a tank build thread yet?

 

[btkrausen]

Just curious if your tank was covered to keep those firefish in the water?
