Hi folks! I found R2R since I was looking for more info on the Phosphate Rx. Used it yesterday on our 180 gallon reef. I posted to the currently ongoing thread with my .02. :)

Any way, been reefing since the early 90's. Seen a lot over all these years. Studied marine biology back on Long Island (where I'm originally from) but not doing that professionally now. Now I help researchers get funding for their medical research.

I'm a 'control freak'. Been using the Neptune Apex for over a year now and I love it. Took a while for us to jump on the controller bandwagon.

1/3 of our 180 reef is dedicated to garden eels. We've been keeping them for over a year now. They're very cool and we have them taking spectrum pellets (not exclusively). I'd like to try and breed them.

We also maintain a 28 gallon anemone display. The focus species is long tentacle.

I also love to travel and collect tattoos from where ever I go. My right leg is dedicate to the sea. I have a Mandarin, weedy sea dragon, blue ring octopus, fromia star and ribbon eel....i.e. everything you should not keep unless very experienced! :)

That's all for now.

Happy Reefing!

Thanks! I will have to find some time to create a members tank thread. I used to be very active on forums, but when I started to ask questions/share on the species we are keeping, we would get flamed a lot and told we should not be keeping them. Hopefully, that does not happen around here.
