Introducing myself, I was active on other forums in years past but have found a new home at reef2reef.

I currently have a Red Sea reefer 850 that has been running for about 4-5 years. I previously had a 120 that I moved into it and a 58 many years before that.

I used to keep more acans and LPS but have had to move the tank twice thanks to flooding in the house and resulting renovations. Now I tend to keep more zoas, ricordea and euphelia which are my favorite corals at the end of the day.

the hippo tang in the photos (mr blue) has been with me for over a decade and is probably 15 years old by now. He was the primary reason for the tank upgrade.

I am currently setting up an eshops doser to automate my additives but otherwise the rest of the setup is pretty solid. There are a few ricordea im currently isolating in some strawberry boxes that released in the Texas ice storm. I count myself lucky that was my only issue
