Let's start this with a I am 2-3 year exp in this hobby. I started with a 90 gallon reef tank until I moved and had to break it down. Condo rules they didn't want fish tanks on the second floor due to insurance reasons. But I have slowly buying things for when I buy a house. Like equipment , and tank 240 rimless. I can't wait to get that one going . But in the mean time I have had to crave my hunger for a reef . So I have snuck a 8 gallon in my bed room. Lol . It is a LPS and softie tank with inverts and a pair of clowns. No sump or skimmer. I am in the process of building a custom stand to house all the equipment like sump, apex , skimmer, dosing pumps, reactors, uv , etc. which I have all this already . Just taking it slow right now. Because I am in the process of building a 55 gallon twin tank connected by two 6 in travel tubes at my buddies house. I have slowly bought the 14-15 corals that are in the tank and am dosing coralvite, phytoplankton, fuel and calcium. I am about to start dosing for ALK and mag as well. Since starting the dosing and target feeding almost everything in the tank has doubled in heads/mouths . So all is well with the pico. But it is very easy for this tank to spike in lvls so I keep a very close eye on it. As you all who have had them know. It is getting a little easier maintaining this tank then it was at first and I am getting to the point that I am running out of room to put things . And want to upgrade to maybe a 14-36 gallon rimless and continue to hide it in the bed room. Well that's enough from me for now. I am excited to dive into the post on this forum and contest I hear so much about on my facebook due to the fact I have been following this site there for a while. Ty and I hope to get to know a lot of you well! Ty Freddy

Welcome to Reef2Reef. You know you're a reef addict when you sneak tanks into your bedroom!
You know it !! I love laying in bed and watching the blues come on. My kids like to count down from ten.. Lol another good reason for the bed room tank . Is when I wake up in the middle of the night the first thing I see is the tank under the moon lights. .... WOW ... I GUESS I AM A JUNKIE!!
 
My wife says I have a sick obsession !! All I due is talk, read, FB , BRS, R2R. She says do I ever get enough. I tell her when we buy the house and I finally put the 240 gal rimless to use it will just begin!! I haven't even scratched the surface of what I want out of a reef tank. But I am very happy right now with my pico 8 gallon reef .
 
Welcome, I share the same passion for the hobby. It's so addicting, I find myself eat, sleeping, thinking reefing. :shocked:
 
More like ... EAT , SLEEP , THINK , READ , PICTURE SCANNING , LIVE STOCK WEBSITE SEARCHING , ALL LFS ROUTE , AND MOST OF ALL .... DREAMING .
So I hope I am not the only one who dreams about their tanks. I think I do this all more lately because my tank is on my night stand right next to my bed!
 
Some dreams are nightmares. I had one once that my big Bristle Star turned into this octopus like creature and crawled out of the tank and down the chair rail and chased me into the kitchen. It was so real like it really shook me up.
