Hello everyone. Jacksonville, FL here. Love the hobby and have had several aquariums over the years. Each one just a little bigger than the last. I currently have 2. 90 gallon reef tank that is set up with freshwater fish AND live plants a 180 saltwater fish only with love rock. I'm a DIY kind of guy. The filter under my 180 was built by me, minus the protein skimmer using a 40 gallon breeder tank. That was a lot of fun. Seems to be doing a great job. I'm still learning. It's like being in science class again. My intentions were to have a reef tank but after doing LOTS of homework, I decided to go FOWLR. I'm a local truck driver by trade. Also enjoy spending time with my family, riding the harley and fishing.
