Hey Everyone!
New Guy here just stopping in to say hello and introduce myself. My Name is Brian and I am not too far off from Philadelphia. I have been reef keeping for over 10 years now starting with a little 30 gallon and moving up over the years to the 120 gallon deep tank I currently have. Just got married back in September ironically at the Aquarium in New Jersey (Fish nerds dream) and am in the process of looking for a house as we speak with the wife, two kids and I. Once's we find a new home, a beautiful 300 gallon is lined up. My tanks have varied over the years but I have always leaned more towards SPS. I am currently in the process of getting my feet back on the ground and rebuilding the 120 as I spend the last year ridding the tank of wonderful Acropora eating flatworms. The tank went from this
To this which is current day after removing every single sps coral including any rocks which were incrusted and left the tank fallow of all sps for over 8 months for my own comfort of knowing those little scum bags all starved off.
I almost left the hobby due to loosing thousands of dollars worth of SPS but decided to give it one more chance and I have never been more in love with the hobby. I am putting more time and effort into equipment, and maintenance and less time on seeing how many frags I can throw in the tank!
But for that matter, I will leave you all with this. Any questions, feel free to ask and thank you for accepting me into the community :bigsmile:
