Hi everyone! I started reef keeping in 2006 as a way to bond with my father, and was on and off up until 2014. I had a 65g (the worst tank in the world), JBJ NC 28, 120g, deep blue 30 that got wiped out from hurricane sandy, and my last tank was a deep blue 80 that I sold after taking a job in Dallas post grad school.
I moved to Charlotte this last summer, bought my first house, and did a full gut renovation on a 1930’s home. I promised myself that I would set up a tank in my own home (I have major ptsd from running tanks in my moms living room) so here we are!
Tank: Elos 120xl (diamond line)- I found an amazing deal locally from a hobbyist that never set up the tank. It was in pristine condition - he never removed the plastic from the tank. Great guy - he helped me move it into my home. I’m very thankful!
Sump: synergy reef - CL 34 - this came with the tank.
Skimmer: Reef Octopus Regal 150
Flow: 2x MP40QD
Return Pump: Vectra L2
Lighting: 2x radion xr30 G4 Pros, with Aquatic life hybrid fixture
