I am by no means good at this so please bear with me. My name is Jon and I’m currently running a 210 gallon sps dominant reef that was recently upgraded from a 150. I just recently got back into the hobby last year after other failed attempts to stay busy. My family and I moved from Orlando Florida to the Midwest in 2009 and the movers would not even so much walk past my 175 gallon tank so we had to part with it in Florida. I went 7 years without one and as of last year got the bug again and started back in the hobby. So much has changed from then until now and my learning curve is on the low side but I’m doing the best I can to keep up. I am currently running a 210 w/2 radion g3 and 1 g4, 4 mp40’s, apex,dos,ddr nyos quantum 160 skimmer, trigger Triton 44 sump, Kessel h80 on the refugium and tunze osmolater for my ato. I hope you folks like the system and I’ll just say right now that if you get some questions that don’t make sense they are probably from me.

Welcome to reef2reef Jon! Your right down the road from me! Lol well, sort of!

What's your favorite LFS? Gateway, seascape...... :)

Steve has a great store! Been there numerous times. Very helpful and very knowledgeable. Good store.

Me and the wife have family in Columbia, so when over there to visit, I have to stop in.

My main LFS that I visit all the time is Lei's Corals and More. It's close and very friendly.

Joe's Seascape is another favorite.
 
Welcome to R2R, that is a very nice rig/build Jon. Great to see you back in business, I would have found another moving company. I moved one from Chicago, New York, Massachusetts, Florida.
