Good morning, or whatever time it is where you are.

My name is Mik (like jagger) and I am super new to reefing, as in i have no reef tank set up yet. I'm in the binge watching YouTube and reading forums "research" phase. I have a dozen, yes, freshwater tanks,each with a custom sump i made whether AIO, under sump, or overhead sump set up. I'm pretty familiar with filtration and info my best to keep mostly dirted sanded planted tanks with biodiversity.

I've read a lot on here about refugiums, crypt zones, protein skimmers, and so on. I look forward to playing my first question somewhere and trying to learn as much as possible until I know enough to contribute.


Thanks for being here. Oh, I saw yourreef aquarium store is a sponsor here, I just visited his shop the other day as I explored the local stores. I'll definitely be going back. Does the owner post on here?

Have a good day!

John has a website that he sells corals from that you wont see at the store.

Welcome Mik! Looking forward to seeing what kinda crazy build you come up with :cool:
Thanks. :) I'm a chronic overfilterer. I have a 1 gallon sump on a 2.5 gallon tank even :) I love engineering stuff and I've built a few tanks for people around me too.

Thank you all for the welcomes.
