Out Of The Shadows

HarrisMD · May 29, 2018

I thought I would stop lurking and start posting tonight. Joined R2R about a year back, been reading threads for many years. RC before R2R. I have been in the aquarium hobby off and on for 40 years, sometimes fresh, sometimes salt, sometimes both. Just started my third reef tank (Dream Build 1.0) and first in nearly 10 years. I pledge to post a build thread sometime this summer.

ReefSavvy 68"x30"x26" peninsula style with a custom stand by Chris Benner of Sticks N Stones. Mixed with SPS dominant about 180 gallon actual tank volume and would be sold as a 230 gallon. Basement sump by Bashsea with about 100 gallon volume with Abyzz 200 return pump. BK Double Cone 200 skimmer, Turbo Algae Scrubber L4, 2 - MP60QD and Gyre 250. Radion XR30 G4 Pro x 4. Heavy Apex control use.

Thanks to everyone that has posted over the years allowing me to learn much faster than I ever would by trial and error on my own (which I did plenty thru the years - especially the errors!)

@HarrisMD Welcome to R2R!!!

Not just a plan. Up and running for about 6 weeks. Actually had the sump up and running since December after an ammonia cycle and with fish in it for 3 months so it is a somewhat seasoned tank right off the bat. Not the original plan but had to wait forever to get the tank from Felix
