Hey guys! I'm in San Diego every so often for family. First time back since I've been in the hobby.
I live in Las Vegas and have my whole life, though would love to live in California, duh. Lol.
Anyways, figured I'd share my reef with you guys. I've been stalking the forum for a few days looking at everyone's tanks. I'm beyond impressed! Not only with that, but with your feeding community. Mine consists of three Facebook groups... Used to have an incredible forum where everyone was on one group, but adults can't get along. -_-
So on to my tank build!
Lighting: Hydra 26 HD x 3 / 3-Bulb T5HO Retrofit
Flow: Maxspect Gyre-150
Skimmer: Bubble Magus Curve 5
Return: Rio 1100 (Nothing special!)
Reactor: Vertex 1.5 ZEOvit Reactor
Sump: Trigger Systems Emerald 26 Sump
I am running a full ZEOvit tank. I do love it but it can be finicky. I moved 2ish months ago so I'm still trying to find that "sweet-spot" in my dosing. But everything is growing well and happy.
I've got corals ranging from Pikachu, Red Dragon, RR Starfire, Rainbow Mille, Sunset Mille, Strawberry Shortcake, to random assorted acroporas that I've picked up that have really changed colors!
This is a before and after of ZEOvit. This acro colony also survived a wild car chase with me. I found my roommates stolen Mini Cooper (way modified) and I was chasing it around after I picked up this Acro. The bucket fell over in the car and spilled water all over, leaving this Acro with no water for 30+ minutes. It looks like this today (on the bottom)
Here were a few acro frags I picked up at our Spring Bling in Vegas. I had about 4-5 more I couldn't grab solid pictures of with my phone.
And here's a few months ago, my Pink Lemonade colony.
