Hi all! My name is David and I am a first year college student living at home. Sorry for the ramble that is about to happen! Anyways, I got into this whole reefing thing about five months ago (right before school began). Fortunately I have supportive parents who allow me to do all this crazy stuff that I never intended to do. Until about a month ago I intended to keep it simple on my 40G with two koralia's and a hang on the back filter. That's still running with some fair success. However after finding a good deal on a skimmer I took the leap and ordered it. I still planned on trying to keep it cheap but... well you all know how it goes. After determining I wanted to move to a bigger tank (75G at the time until that one leaked around the overflow so it quickly got returned) I ordered two Ocean Revive T247-B lights. I originally planned on doing a DIY stand, canopy, sump and preferably drilling and installing an overflow on a pristine 75G I got for free. However an internship I've had has kept me busy and with school also beginning this coming week I ended up purchasing a tank and stand from a local shop and bought a Trigger Systems Ruby 36 off a fellow reefer who's plans for building a tank have changed. I'll cut it short here and add an equipment list of what I have acquired as of today (items surely missing) with pictures following shortly after this post!
Tank - 90G Marineland Corner-Flo Tank
Stand - Deep Blue Series V Stand (Purchased for its increased height over the Marineland)
Sump - Trigger Systems Ruby 36 Sump
Lighting - Two Ocean Revive T247-B Lights (Display) and a 45W Chinese Grow Light (Refugium)
Skimmer - Skimz Kone SK181
Doser - Jebao DP-4
Wavemaker - Jebao CP-90
Return Pump - Jebao DCP-8000
Reactor - Single BRS Reactor (Need to setup manifold to connect to)
Rock - About 80 lbs. Dry Rock (Display) and 20 lbs. Rubble from 40G (Refugium)
Anyways I would love to get some suggestions for stocking in addition to livestock I already have in the 40G. I'll share my current list and can ensure you all that I already have a home in mind for the tang when it gets to decent size!
Black Snowflake and Black Ice Snowflake Pair
Naso Tang
Lawnmower Blenny (I think but not 100% sure)
Two Blue-Green Chromis
Pictures will hopefully follow this post later today!
