Hello all.

I just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Matt, I've been in the hobby for a few years now. I currently have a 180 gallon mixed reef tank, with a 70g sump and a 66g display refugium. There isn't much to "display" in there yet though.

I'm active on my local reefer forum but I always see interesting threads that pop up from R2R on my google searches, FB, ect.

I'll start a build thread when I get a moment. I'm gearing up to swap back to MH from LED to try and get some more umph out of my SPS.

I'll post a FTS when I get near my computer. Photobucket repeatedly crashed on my phone.

Hi Matt! I look forward to seeing more pictures and hearing all about your reef. I am in the pre-planning phase, and no experience, but I'm doing a lot of reasearch and hope to make a decision in the coming months. I did not realize there was such a thing as a display refugium. I learned something new

I have also been giving a lot of thought to lights and was leaning more toward LED because there is less heat, but I guess there are drawbacks.
