[Blutspitze]

Welcome to the forums! Would love to see some pics of all the corals you've got, and wish I was close enough to get some of them!

Welcome,

Sounds like a really interesting system. Enjoyed hearing your philosophy. I think everyone should have to do that before listing their equipment

Hey all, Looking forward to learn and help out around the forum. Really looking to connect with some reefers around the west suburbs of Chicago and Milwaukee area. Im in my early 20's an really want to help younger people and individuals of my age to get into this art. I get around a lot between Chicago area, Milwaukee, and even Cali where I have family. I collect a lot of coral, mostly sticks and various chalice, acans, and shrooms. My style of reefing is large refugium, minimal water changes, and dosing. I have a redsea 350, redsea 170, and a larger rubermade frag system. I like to keep it as natural and automatic as possible. My favorite thing to do, and my style of reefing you could say, consists of collecting unique corals and their color variants and grouping them together in my display to illustrate a stark contrast in color but a cool familiar texture and structure. I like to keep a mixed reef and I really enjoy stocking with wrasses. Like I said earlier I collect a lot, buy a lot, and trade a lot of coral. If your looking for certain piece or something to fill a whole in your display let me know. I always have extra and I'd love to help you get that easy and cheap if you're in the area. Ive got lost of equipment old and new and I'm quite adept in the freshwater sense if anyone interested in that too, I do a mean planted beta bowl lol. I've battle a lot of pest in my time and set up, torn down, and moved 5 salt water systmes not all my own. I'm into conservation and I believe heavily in aquaculture and people keeping and growing coral to spread some awareness and keep these strains healthy, alive, and stronger then ever. Peace,

Welcome to the REEF!!

 

[ReefsCubed]

Some frags I've sold in the past been trying to upgrade some of my stick collecting from the funds I make off these. Recently just purchased a nice fat 7 piece frag pack from riptide aquaculture (RTA) as well.

 

[ReefsCubed]

dabbled in some photography of the tank as well, here are some mini colony and fish photos

 

[ReefsCubed]

Here's the systems below. main display redsea reefer 350 with deep refugium diy works well until it leaked, new one in there now. Nyos quantum protein skimmer, 2 radions, diy hood, 2 max spec gyres, diy frag racks, pax bellum chaeto reactor...not gonna go into details on the other two, frag tub is rough right now, other is a red sea 170.

 

[ReefsCubed]

Last one here, Nice fraggable frag plates we make. 100% reef safe marine cement, break away at each disk, sometimes nicer then others, great for muschrooms, zoas, encrusting corals and even acros to base out onto.

Impressive tank and pics
