Hello Everyone.
I just wanted to introduce myself and share my first reef tank. I have been a member for a couple months now and have to say it is great resource and best of all its local. A friend and fellow member has helped me A LOT as well and pointed me to this forum. This is my first reef tank and I am very excited about it. With that said here is what I am running:
- Mr Aqua 18x18x18 Low Iron Cube
- Tunze Nanostream 6015 Powerheads (2)
- 120W Epistar LEDs Blue: 56*1W @ 460nm White:56*1 @ 14,000K
- DIY overflow box (built by ajn81)
- DIY Refugium (behind tank - also built by ajn81)
- JBJ Nano-Glo Refugium LED
- Maxi-Jet 400 Powerhead/Pump
- CaribSea Argonite Special Grade (15 lbs)
- Fiji Premium Live Rock (25 lbs)
- Scripps Saltwater
- Neptune Apex Jr Controller
- DIY Tank Stand
Here is a pic of the first night I set it up. Excuse the quality (iPhone) and my girlfriends hand in the pic LOL. She as almost into this as me...
I have also created a Facebook page for my tank to track its progression. The tank has only been up for a little more than 3 weeks, but if you are interested search "Baldbeans Reef Tank" on Facebook. Nothing but algae so far, but that will change after I get in on ajn81's group buy from reeftopia.
Thanks everyone and I look forward to learning from and possibly even meeting some of you.
