Hey ya'll. I've been a member since February but this is the first thread I have posted. I'm more of a listener than a talker or should i say reader than a writer, as I don't have the experience to be giving accurate information in most cases...yet. I have been into reef tanks for 2 years now and I love to read about anything and everything reef related. In fact I hated to read period until I got into reefing and I have read more in the last 2 years than I have ever read in my life!

So a little bit on my current setup(s). I started with a biocube which only lasted about 6 months before i wanted something larger and now I have a 90 gallon with 20 gallon sump and a 60 cube (my wife's tank that I kind of took over).

90 gallon is 20"x 18"x 60" mixed reef

I'm running 2 radion pros w/wide angle lens and just recently added 2 x 54w t5s with ati blue+.

I'm currently only running a curve 7 skimmer and refugium with marine pure and live rock in sump. I recently took gfo and carbon offline as I had not been able to get any detectable nitrate and phosphates.

Flow- I am using a wp-40, wp 25 and pp 8 on else mode.

3 part dosing with brs dosers
Alk- 7.8
Ca- 420
Mag- 1440
No3- undetectable using nyos and red sea
Po4- 0.00 using Hannah checker

Welcome to R2R
Your tank is doing really well. Have you considered starting a build thread?

Thank you.
I'm not real sure where I would start with a build thread as I didn't do a very good job of pictures in the beginning and I have only recently learned to stop messing with things on my tank. Lol. I do plan to upgrade to a 180 when we buy a house in about a year and a half and will definitely do a build thread on that with lots of pictures!
 
Welcome home, you will love it here!

Beautiful tanks!
