Well that's good! I'm starting a 150 and just ordered the same pump haha!

You made a wise choice!

How's it going Andy?

Reef is slowly coming alive! Seeded my system with pods and introduced my first fish...a Royal Gramma. So far so good! Will be hand dosing for now until a grater demand for alkalinity calcium and magnesium is in order. I'll then put a calcium reactor online. But for now I have my trifecta!

Added this little frag of Green Slimer about 5 days ago along with a small frag of m.setosa and both seem to be doing great!

Yes Your correct. If you guys don't know me Im a real SPS fanatic way more than Im a fish junky. So at the moment I've been looking at my rock work and trying to coordinate what corals (species, color, growth pattern) to go where. Excited! Fish are on my list but not as high on the list as my coral. I plan to have the following fish:


Potters wrasse
melanurus wrasse
purple tang
six line wrasse
yellow wrasse
green wrasse
royal gramma
10 blue/green chromis

 

[gettaReef]

Nice list, wrasses are so fun and a school of chromis will look awesome. Can't wait to see the finished product

LOL dang it! I was going to be a smart alec and start asking about fish and corals once daily...
