I'm Justin. I've been in aquatics for about 15 years. My last tank was a 200 gallon reef in AZ and my 3rd salty. I moved to SF about 3 years ago and downsized. My lfs at the time graciously took my large system in trade for a much more manageable system.
Here's what I've got:
30g JBJ rimless aio
40g TruVu sump
Bubble Magus Curve 7 skimmer
Geo 612 calcium reactor
Jebao rw-8 (x2)
Jebao wp-25
JBJ ato
Dual 100w heaters
Reefbreeders photon 16 (custom layout)
I'm stocked with:
Acros
Milli's
Monti's
chalice
Pocillopora
Zoas
clams
Gorgonian
Duncan
Bi color blenny
Red firefish
I'll come back and get more specific when I find the time
My life support includes:
200 micron filter sock
Phosguard
Carbon as needed
Fuge with macro
50# live rock (25 & 25)
Floss in overflow
For maintenance, I use kalkwasser with vinegar ato, dose magnesium, and 2 part. I've just added the reactor so I'm getting away from dosing but I don't yet have a controller so I'll still dose for a few more weeks. I test alk, calcium, temp, and salinity daily, magnesium and nitrates weekly, and I'm getting totally hooked on the chemistry in this hobby. After getting my controller and reactor up and stable, I'm planning to invest in more test kits and trace elements to move away from water changes. I'm currently changing 5g/week but I plan to stop them entirely.
I'm planning to build a new stand soon as well. I'll post pictures of the build and some fts after I get a little more settled but for now here are a few randoms
