Hi, I have been running reef tanks for about 6 years now, and currently I have a connected 500 gallon system of 8 tanks (10, 35, 3x40, 2x75, 140) plus two separate 35 Biocubes. Before moving cross country, I ran a small tank for 5 years in the 1990s.
I am interested in trading corals locally, currently I have a huge excess of Utter Chaos Zoas, and a few extra frags of 12 or so other types of coral. Currently a couple of the tanks are primarily devoted to growing out frags for trade, but I lack local contacts.
I started with ocean-cultured live rock and aim for a somewhat natural look to the tanks with some algae.
I also do one or two collecting trips a year to Florida, and have gathered some fish, and many hermit crabs, snails and other inverts.
I am interested in pushing my tanks to the next level in terms of coral, and am looking forward to spending more time optimizing conditions and increasing diversity over the next year. The last year involved a (local) move, which was still a big challenge for the system, leading to a cyano and dino outbreak that I have recently cleared.
