The reefbreeder you just need to mount it high. I have the 48 inch over my 75 and have it 16 inches off the water and have great coverage.

Locally Best Fish, online @Cultivated Reef has some really nice pieces and good sales. Plus they are adding more to their coral selection. Best of luck :)

Hi Reef Club,

My name is Paul. I started my journey in reefing roughly 15+ years ago when I lived in the south Florida area. At the job I was working, someone had a disused custom made 150 that was gathering dust. This became my first tank which initially consisted of everything I collected from the ocean(water/fish). As my knowledge grew so did my tank, I began to frequent many of the south florida lfs and this soon became a every weekend diversion. I stepped into the world of corals and couldn't turn back.

Fast forward, about 9 months before the global thing happened I decided to uproot my family as I tired of big city living and move to the madison area(little outside and to the south). Seeing that my 150 wasn't in the best shape I decided to not tote it 1400 miles. After settling in, I got a 125 with the desire to grow corals specifically those sticks. It's been a rough journey, and I feel like I'm new to the hobby again. I'm struggling to keep my corals.... fish are doing great though! I miss my old live rock and nearly free sea water.

Ever do any diving?
 
Bob Nordgren from Athens Ga and a lifelong (36 years in the business) vet vaccine researcher living in my forever house planning my forever tank. My attention to this thread is that we have a family farm in Esofea, which is near Vioqua, near Coon Valley which is near Lacrosse.

First and persistent love is herpetology - and traveled the neotropics in that pursuit, and learned scuba diving with a double hosed regulator - and have been underwater in the Caribbean (mostly Belize), Baja, and Galapagos, still hope to see the Red Sea and Barrier reef, but will likely be with a snorkel at my age.

First fresh water tank was college in mid 70's which led to several salt tanks till about '82 when I moved to Mexico for work, and then moved too often to keep a tank.

In my career in Vet Vaccines, I've studied various species corona viruses for 35 years so found coincidental that it was the Covid shut down that resulted in my buying a used 40 IM cube in May of 20, and 2 Cades (180 and 90 lagoon) and homemade frag.

Does that get me a Wisco badge??

Love this post…



Let see.. I started off with a bio with all the bio cubes .. I think 26 gal. Back in 92… couple tanks later ended up with a 180… MH became a cost factor…


Got out ☹ Downsized to a cube 8 years later.. developed a seam leak… .. got a redsea 300xl and now planning on a 300 gallon ( I do think my wife will figure out how to murder me)

I'm curious, do most of you guys order corals online, or do you visit local shops? I'm planning on grabbing some new corals this weekend from best fish and/or aquatics unlimited.

I recently picked up some super nice (and super clean) corals from Tidal Gardens. Will definitely buy from them again. There is also a coral place in the Dells - Hey Dude Corals - that I want to check out. They aren't very far from where I live so it will be a short road trip.
