:wave::wave: Hi! I've been lurking around for awhile and finally decided I might as well register... then I might as well start posting. I belong to a few other boards but haven't really been active anywhere lately.
I've kept aquariums for 12-13 years now. Started with freshwater...in college I had to get a job taking care of research tanks to contain my MTS. Almost 3 years ago I was finally able to stop bouncing around from apartment to apartment and was finally able to set up my very own reef!
Currently, I have a 55 mixed reef (started as FOWLR, that didn't last long) with zoas, palys, hydnophora, euphyllia, toadstools, GSP, blue anthelia, hairy mushrooms, hollywood stunner chalice, and orange psammacora. Fish: 2 clowns, 1 indigo dottyback, and I've just added a pair of diagonal bar gobies. 4 bulb AquaticLife fixture with ATI bulbs (2 blue+, purple+, coral+)
Couldn't resist and I turned my 14 hex betta tank into a nano shroom garden with rics and regular shrooms with 12in Wavepoint Microsun blue/white LEDs. Has 1 gold striped goby. Well, hubby says after our floors are replaced next month I can trade the 14 hex for a 45gal JBJ rimless as long as I set it up for sea horses (he picked the tank). Now I've got some gorgonians and macros in there as well to get seahorse ready. :) I've hinted for a 90 to replace the 55 since I have to break it down for the flooring install...but I suspect that's not going to happen. But he has said not to sell off the 14 or my other empty 55 from tearing down my last freshwater tank. Never fear, I have 2 more small FW tanks in my classroom... I do *not* have a problem.
