Hey everyone, I wanted to introduce myself. I'm Chris and Im new to this site.. Ive been a reefer for about 6 years. I started out when my buddy who was into saltwater had an extra tank and needed some cash. So I bought what would be my first reef tank, a simple little 40g tall but it was unique because it had a mirrored back custom made. So I was off. With his help and old school advice, I set it up w some pretty crummy equipment. Were talking (wait for it...) undergravel filter under crushed coral, and a fluval canister filter (neither worked very well and gave me more problems than helped) so both were gone fairly quickly lol.. But I was still so proud of it. Came home at lunch every day staring at it hoping something new would move or appear. I built my own oak mh canopy and wired up a 250w mh and hung it over top to replace the 50/50 bulbs I had.. Fast forward 6 years and a few upgrades and I am still so eager to come home for lunch and stare at tank hoping something looks better or has grown.. Im very picky and everything has to be just right. I have now a 150g tall that's rimless and has a starfire front and glass holes dual overflow. Its a mixed reef that has some sps but mostly lps and zoa/paly dominant. Im running a 36" marineland pro mh/t5 fixture, Eheim 1262 return, Eshopps skimmer, 2 sicce voyager 3 pumps, custom rimless 30g sump and 24" led moonlight by Icecap.
