135 Gallon Display tank, 100 gallon stock pond tank about 2/3rds full. Mostly Live Rock right now. Sadly down to just a Juv Coral Beauty at the moment.

Trying to get my D&D Marine Terminator 2 skimmer online so I can start getting all the protein in my water under control. My current skimmer runs for 30 minutes at random intervals due to a impeller getting stuck on something which I'm not sure what it is. Also have 2 - 30 gallon tanks that are supposed to be for frags and macro algae. Also working on getting a cheato reactor built and running.

Working on my own DIY Tank Controller. I've dubbed it AquaPi with Salty or Freshy mods for the two types of tanks. My end goal is to have a kit that people can build or for a little extra I'll build and install all the software. I want an Apex but can't afford the crazy high price tag for something that can easily be put together and programmed if you have the time and patience to do it. Since I'm on the road in hotels a lot due to work, those are my programming hours. Unless my wife makes me log into WoW then I'm screwed lol.

As much as I want to rebuild and restock my tank I am taking it slow as my wife and I our talking about building a new house and when we do I'm putting in a giant tank. Crazy thoughts start at 6' X 6' X 2' lol with a fish room in the basement.

Feel free to bug me here or via Facebook with either Reefing or Information Tech chatter/questions. Always around to be pestered.

No corals yet but it wont be long

I started my tank back up about 6 months ago, I'm currently running it skimmerless and going with an algae scrubber, and I recently got an Apex so i've really been enjoying playing with it.
