Hello, my name is Roy and I just joined today! I recently picked up a smartphone so now I'm able to have apps and access to forums... Yes I'm a caveman. I am a member of over 15 forums but for the past few years I have not been able to use them do to low internet access and no smartphone.

My setup:
-65 gallon display
-2 drilled 3/4" drains
-1 drilled 3/4" return
-20 gallon tall sump
-Aqueon 2300 return pump
-2 500 gph Aqueon power heads
-150 watt Aquen heater
-Filter sock on one drain
-Home made algea scrubber on the other
-Gen 2 Radion

Inhabitants:
-2 Percula Clowns
-1 Diamond Goby
-2 Trumpets
-2 Organ Pipe Coral colonys
-War Coral
-Orange Zoa colony
-Bunch o snails
-Duncan Coral

To do list:
-Add baffles to sump
-Add corals
-Add red light to scrubber
-add fish

If nothing else this will help me keep track ☺

Most of my setup came from Petco. Mainly because I had a friend there who gave me major discounts. I have had good luck with all of their products and would definitely recommend them especially for beginners.

Welcome home, you will love it here!

I dig the rock work! :)

Also, happy thanksgiving!
 
Thanks guys Im really happy about the compliments on the rock work. I was hesitant to get started on it and once I started I felt like it wasn't going to look good. Then as I near the end I started to appreciate it.

Thank you! Now I wish that I had taken more pictures. To the right I had a large tote with my hammer, chisel and more rock.

You should do a tank thread

Once I figure out how to navigate through this forum and understand what you mean exactly, perhaps I could do so
