Well after a good long hiatus I’m getting back in the game.
I have been keeping fish since the age of 10 with my dad, and haven’t been able to shake the addiction 30 years later. Most my time has been spent in the fresh water world but I have had a few fowler tanks, and some unsuccessful pick reef attempts.
After a good long break, and some tweaks to my mentality, I’ve decided I may be ready to buy once, buy good, and most of all be patient. With that said I was able to get a pretty good start.
Equipment:
NuVo 40g aio tank
Aps innovative marine stand
Kessil A360we tuna blue light
Extra media baskets in overflows
2 reefbreeders RP-M powerheads
Reefbreeders ato
Ehiem heater for now
10g tank for rodi reservoir
30lb dry rock treated with frizt turbo start
I still need to get skimmer, thinking the NuVo skimmer (unless I can get better suggestions here). Also looking to get Rodi here in the next week or so (currently buying from lfs).
for live stock I’m still unsure what to do. I want a blend of soft, lps, and some easier sps. For fish probably just the standard pair of clowns (love the mocha davinci), maybe a cleaner wrasse or two, and undecided on a smaller angel fish.
anyhow enough typing, here’s some pics.
