Hello all, there are a few of you on here that know me from other forums or locally but I thought I would take the time to introduce myself and my systems here. My name is Jay aka floridascape (florida nurseryman/ landscaper) And I am a coral collector/hoarder/farmer/fragger. I run 3 main systems in my house 54g corner Display Mixed reef in my living room, and 2 120+ gallon propagation systems in my back room/ sun room.
MY Display is a true mixed reef 54g corner display, 10g DIY sump, coralife 65 skimmer, tek 6 bulb T5 have added 2 reef breeder stunner LED strips, 3 koralias, 65+#s LR, ATO, and fans.
MY propagation systems are very different, My SPS, LPS, and ZOA, prop tank consists of a 4 chamber system, 40g breeder display, 40g brute tote sump/ live rock benthic zone, 35g passive eb-n-flo propagtion/ fuge area, and a 10g sump for Reef octo skimmer. Closed loop, sunlight driven with T5 actinic supplement. Bare bottom display minimal LR, 40g brute has 65#'s acro skeletons, and 35g fuge has (3) 10# removable Deep Sand Beds and Macros. This system is my favorite almost runs itself, all I do is put water in the ATO resevoir and a 25% WC monthly...
My Second Prop Sytstem Is a 100g pond with 2 13g tote's plumbed together One tote has a 12'' deep sand bed and the second tote has a euro reef 160 skimmer/ return. The pond Has at Least 150#'s LR and is completely Sunlight Driven, I grow Nems, softies, and a few Lps in this system, I also use this system as a fish rescue... good home for unwanted damsels,clowns, hawkfish and more.
These photos are kinda old I will take Some new ones and some coral shots when my lights come on. If anyone has any Questions I love talking Reef!
