Just starting the adventure...

[dcfluegel]

3 months ago, the lady wife got very interested in the idea of a reef aquarium - I think that, as a master gardener, the idea of aqua-gardening appealed to her... so, we started doing some research... and some more research... and some more research... we found her a starter setup with a 75g tank, stand and a decent coralife light setup (T5 actinics, MH and moonlights) with a sump... started putting it together, replaced some pumps and... it has begun...

looking forward to learning from this community and seeing how things develop

thanks!

been an utter slacker about updating here - since original shot, we have added live rock, livestock, new lights (a pair of kessil 350w's), new sump with 'fuge, biopellet reactor... and an RO/DI water system from BRS that tucks away under the kitchen sink on utility drawer slides... you know, a couple things

here are a couple of more recent shots...

a few more recent pix after the MTRC frag swap (thanks again MTRC, awesome event - really enjoyed it)... maybe went a little overboard at the swap... I blame the government...

Your tank if filling up real nice ... and wow what a Zoa collection you have there. Good Job!

HELP! Got a couple of items below from the frag swap that are new to us and I neglected to note what they were in the mayhem - if you could help ID these buggers for me, I would be much obliged, so I can make sure they are getting all the aqualovin' they need

 

[dcfluegel]

one more that needs ID...

added a harlequin shrimp this week - our asterina population has gone nuts, and they are going after the zoas... time to bring in the shrimpinator... sayonara, asterinas...

 

[dcfluegel]
