Oh hello there.
My name is Gastoff Hiechlesionoian. I have been reefing for 48 days now. I am excited.
Here is my FTS on my 90 gallon.
I am using a pair of LED pendants. They are prototype versions of a master and slave unit. They are made by AquaticLife called the Halo.
Here is my frag
And I am starting it lower in the tank and raising slowly to determine the best spot for it.
I do a water change once a month 20%. I use a korralin calcium reactor. Fish poo is removed by some skimmer or whatever.
I stick my hands in the tank a lot usually after I have KFC all over them.
I am winning suckassssssssss

Hello all, my name is Reed. I have a 30 gallon shallow tank(24x24x12) with a 10 gallon sump. I have kept aquariums for to many years to count now, but I just started reef tanks a couple of years ago, and am just starting with sps coral.
Tank details,
Return pump is a ehiem hobby pump
Lighting: 4 bulb Aquatic life t-5 ho, running a combo of ATI and Giesman bulbs for 8.5 hrs a day
Circulation: 1 jeboa wp10
Skimmer ect: Eshopps psk75h, and a phosban reactor, also a RKL (mostly a timer for the lights)
Before I get to the pictures I want to apologize for the poor quality, my camera broke (thanks to my 2 year old twins) so I had to take them with an iPhone, that I am not real sure how to use.
