New here

[Sentinel]

Thanks Paul for inviting me over. I am looking forward to getting to know you guys and hopefully being a productive member of the group. I have been in the saltwater hobby for about 10 years. Started with a 30gal, then 55, 90, and 300gal. Moved around and been out of the hobby for about 5 years. Just setting up my a 65gal reef tank, that a friend gave to me (well he gave me tank, stand and hood, and a 30 gal sump). Pics to follow my progress so far.

first pic is the tank my friend just gave me with a custom built stand he built himself

Turned the sump into a refugium

Here is the new RO/DI, I am not sure how I am going to store it or permanently set it up, but I will figure that out later, for now its on the counter making water like a champ.

Some pics when I first got some rock

 

[Sentinel]

As you can see its very young, hope to start adding livestock soon. Any comments on the set up welcome. Thanks

Glad you made it you will like it here. I love the rock where did you get it from?

 

[Sentinel]

I got the rock from Ocean Pro Aquatics, its fiji totoka rock. I really like the rock too, however, I can not recommend doing business with the aforementioned company. In their defense they tried to make it right and eventually got me my order, but with many bumps along the way.

I just got my buddy some totoka from TritonsGarden great looking rock and a great place to deal with

Hey rev where is my casino cash we talked about at the swap :bigsmile:

 

[H@rry]

Rev's pretty generous with the casino cash. After all, it's just like Monopoly money! I'm still trying to find a use for it. (Don't take it to the Blackjack table).
