Welcome to the community! How is your progress going?

Catchemall · Jul 9, 2015

Slowly but surely progressing. Last weekend I got my rodi unit hung in the laundry room downstairs. I got the bulk reef supply 150 GPd unit. Seems like it's built real well. As far as equipment I got the reef octopus int 150skimmer supposed to turnover 210gph along with a eheim compact plus return pump. Ordered a 75 gallon reef ready tank but may up that to a 90 gallon. And I think I'm gonna just buy a trigger systems sump. More than likely for price poin be going with either reef breeder or two ocean revive led lights. Not bad alittle further along than I'd thought I'd be. My goal is to be up and cycling by fall I'm gonna take my time get everything I want and need before starting anything.

Hello, I thought no one was out there. What kind of tank to you have?

Shine5555 · Oct 18, 2017

I am just re-entering the Reef Side. I am just playing with a Fluval EVO 13.5 gallon tank now.

Where do you go to get any corals/fish/anything? Between all my fresh water tanks, and now the reef stuff, I am ready to start an Aquarium store. I wonder how many are around this area ?

What do you keep?

There are two stores in Kingsport. I like Sea Oddities. I have the Red Sea Reefer 250 65 total gallons with sump.
