My name is Chris I live in a costal town called Swansea in south Wales United Kingdom I am 58 years old and have kept marine fish and corals since my late teens
So I’m from a time when bigger was better, and equipment was under gravel filters calcium plus gravel tidy and 4 inches of crushed coral sand, skimmer heater and air pump bobbin hydrometer and 3 to 6 months to cycle a tank
how things have changed lol, I have also worked in my local aquatic stores from leaving school until I got an apprenticeship and became a mechanical engineer working for my local water company repairing pumps that pumped 3 tons of water a second, I later on became a gas engineer which is what I currently do for a living
I am currently building my new fish room so what stock I have at the moment are in temporary tanks so not much to see at moment
But my systems when rebuilt are two racks of 6 x 32” 15” 20” for my clown breeding and my reef system which is two tanks on a single sump 48” 24” 30” and a 72” 24” 24”
when I finish my rebuild I will post pictures for anybody interested
