image.jpeg image.jpeg Hi,
My name is Vicky and I'm a reef addict. I was given an Oceanic 14, stock everything. I like the most natural approach possible in reefing. My tank has been up and running well for about six months but it seems like a lot longer. I still love doing weekly water changes, but testing weekly not so much. I attribute my success so far to an abundance of live rock and sand. Devouring books on the subject and my mentor, Seth, at The Coral Guy lfs in Tulsa, OK.
At some point I want to upgrade my lighting. I sometimes dream about a larger tank, but for now I love my little nano sitting next to my swivel rocker recliner. There I can see all sorts of activity from Clown Fish dances to tiny thread like arms of brittle stars sticking up out of my black Hawaiian sand. Love it! I also enjoy seeing what others are doing and what challenges they have had and how they solved them.
So, here I am and thanks for letter my me join ya'll.

Welcome! Very nice tank. I'm a bit curious, what lights do you run now and what would you like to upgrade to?

Thank you Wiz. I have the standard lights, two compact fluorescents one 10000 daylight and one Actinic. (Sp). Plus two moon lights. I would like to move my moons into the two front wells on either side of the feeding trap and add an inexpensive LED strip for color.
