Hello everyone my name Is Dave. I live in Downey. Native Californian.Have surfed and loved the Ocean my entire Life. Started with freshwater back in the 60's. About 4 years ago my wife wanted to go saltwater. To quote from some else. She said "No honey I don't think it will cost us that Much"LOL. We now have a 300 gal reef and fish. Tangs, Foxface, firefish, lots of cleaners, SPS, LPS, Softies. 300 gal sump located outside with an iwaki 70 pushing water back through 2 NU CLEAR filters and a 1/2 hp chiller. Currently residing in the sump are #s of live rock and the large angel i removed when we added different corals. Mangroves do fine outside and i plan on adding different plants as my livestock is moved. I need help everyday but not necessarily with my tank. I am enjoying this site emmensely
