Hi all,
I have been active in a few other reef forums, but noticed this nice local one, so figured I should join in.
I currently have a 75 gallon reef system.
Had it about 2 years, so not a newbie, but definitely a rookie.
Well reef is a big stretch. It is mostly fish, a few softies, and lots of bubble algae.
I guess I am more into fish than coral, but slowly changing.
But I am into it enough to upgrade in a big way. Going to a 250 gallon system.
Hence the crazy.
Primarily upgrading so I can finally get some big tangs. But also just fun in general.
But I do have some hard corals planned for the center. And who knows where that will lead.
New stand is about half done. Some of the filter system is done. Some of electronics are done.
I am also heavily into being more natural, and using less power.
So filter is algae turf scrubber (mostly), lighting is transitioning to LED, system is heavily insulated, chiller is
evaporation based, using modern prop powerheads, and more.
Hence more crazy.
Everything is DIY except the tank. Although even reconsidering that now.
Notice a trend...
Thanks,
-Mark
