Hello,

My names Cord.... yes Cord ya know like an extension cord and yea it's my real name lol. I have been in the hobby for 7 years now and still consider myself a novice in a lot of areas beings I am always learning something new. For example, I am just finally starting a simple dosing system this week for the first time. I have had an auto dosing pump for quite some time but haven't put it to use until now. I'll be dosing 2-part with the magnesium as well and am thinking once I move in some acros adding acropower for the 4th pump.

My system as of today is a 110 gallon tank with a 30 gallon DIY sump. She's been up and running for 2 years now but you wouldnt know it. I haven't stocked fish and only somewhat stocked it with corals. I unfortunately got busy with life and my system took a backseat other than basic maintenance. Here's an idea of what I've got in the tank,
○ Yellow tang
○ Banggai cardinals x2
○ Yellow watchman goby
○ Multiple hammers
○ Multiple zoas
○ Mushrooms (purple, hairy, and rhodactis)
○ Galaxea
○ A lot of red monti
○ Green BTA

As far as filtration,
○ Filter socks
○ Reef octopus classic 150
○ Brs carbon reactor
○ Chaeto

Lighting is just your basic cheap chinese led boxes suspended in the canopy and a grow light for the chaeto. There's an Eheim for the return and 3 Jebao wavemakers for the flow within the tank.

I am going to be making big changes in the near future due to moving in a few months and for that I have a new 90 gal system with an eshopps r100 sump, 2 mp40qd's, m1 return pump, and 2 xr30 pros. It's a bit of an upgrade in my personal opinion. I will be keeping the system I have running as well and am contemplating on plumbing them together.

Well that's about all I can think of off hand. I need to get filters for pictures so I cant get the best of pics as of now unfortunately. If you have any ideas, opinions, or thoughts please let me know.
