Hello,

Have been here reading and participating few threads for some time already, but never posted kind of official meet & greet. So I am actually long-time aquarist, got first tank when I was 4 and then on... So going over 36 years of aquariums already I am also biologists (Ph.D.), I always wanted to became marine biologists but then some other branches of biology took me away, but in my hobby I have always been marine biologist :)

I am running mixed, but SPS dominant, reef system in total of 650 liters which is something like 171 gallons. This is total over three tanks and sump. Main tank is 450 liters and then there are two frag tanks in the same system. I am growing quite a collection of corals, total species count is 97. Running Fauna Marin light balling, RO, fleece roll filter, skimmer, algae reactor, media reactor, UV etc... everything quite automated with Profilux. Just "few" photos below of my tank, small "marine biology lab space" and some of the current or recent inhabitants.
