Hello everyone

[Ranjib Dey]

Hi Everyone,
I have joined the forum recently, I am relatively new to reef keeping. I had experience with fresh water aquariums (7 years). Currently I have a 29G biocube, mixed reef. which is 10 month old. I set it up after 2 years of reading and pondering about setting up one . I finally got the first tank when we got our first kid (Ryan), we spend lot of time watching the corals.

I past three months I have also setup two pico reefs, one of them (left most) I use as a quarantine tank, while the other is used to test my Raspberry Pi based controller (more on in dedicated thread, hopefully).

I get very little time after the day job & family stuff to stay active in the forum, but I would really like to engage in community activities, sharing and any way I can help others.

Current tanks: Pico reefs are powered by Raspberry Pi controller. Left most one is used as quarantine tank,

Welcome to BAR. Your tanks look cool & neat. I'm looking forward to the Raspberry Pi controller dedicated thread.

Welcome to the club! I like the tanks, as well. Who is the manufacturer for the pico?

One of the pico is Fluval Spec 3, other one is imagitarium 3.7 G, from petco.
I am wondering if the Raspberry Pi based controller thread should be in general forum or DIY ?

I have three fishes in the 29G . An ocellaris clown, a hipo tang (was a mistake, he is small 1", and I am finding a new home for him) and another 1" tailspot blenny on the fluval spec 3 Pico. The third pico tank has no fish. Only couple of snails and a hermit crab.

My son loves the clown & tang. He talks to those fishes almost every morning, in his own words..

Yes, it is. I am trying to get some documentation done, I'll post the details in the forum once thats done.

I really like your tank and I have the same tank as yours for the 3.7 gallon. I am just starting right now.
What filtration are you using? and the light you have is amazing

I was using ABI Tuna Blue 12 W for the first 4 months. I switched to Kessil A80, of month before. Here is some more recent pics
