Hi Everyone
Thought I'd intro myself.
I've been reefing for 14 years, in the hobby for 57 (66 years young). Currently, I'm running a 100 gal system, 75 gal custom Acrylic aquarium plus 25 gal in a Rubbermaid sump. The system has been up 21 months. It's a mixed reef/fish system. Lighting is 36" VHO, 3 URI Aquasuns and 1 URI Super Actinic, Ice Cap 660 ballast. Water movement is provided by an Iwaki 40 RLT pump drawing 750 gph from sump and returning to tank via a manifold and 3 return lines, one going through a SCWD making 4 total return lines.
I'm utilizing a DSB consisting of 200 lbs of Southdown sand (4 1/2") with 40 lbs of Caribbean LS, 40 lbs of Fiji LR and 35 lbs of Kailini LR.
Corals and other things are, M. capricornus, frogspawn, purple acro, purple tip acro, a plate coral, xenia, button polyps, yellow polyps, toad stool softie, waving hand polyps, sponges, tunicates, 3 Hawaiian featherdusters, a long tentacle anemone and other things.
Fish include, a Purple Tang (Boss of tank), a Marine Beta, 2 Allen's Damsels, a Canary Damsel (thinks he's boss), a Banggai Cardinal, a Royal Gramma, an Atlantic Pygmy Dwarf Angel, a pair of black Perculas, a bicolor Blenny, a yellow banded Coral Shrimp and I must be forgetting somebody.
My wife and I are currently building a home in the Fort Pierce, FL area on 5 1/2 acres and will build a greenhouse for proping corals and all that is related to reefing. I'm retired from 40 years of pipefitting and wanted something to do besides lay around the pool all day. We will be offering these frags etc, for sale on our website along with other reef related things.
If you would like to view my system, I'm currently working on putting an updated set of pictures of the 75 on our website. Keep in mind I'm not finished with the verbage but if you'd like to see them go to our 75 reef. (http://www.theculturedreef.com/our75.htm)
