Hello SCR! I have been a member on here for quite some time and I think an introduction is long overdue.

My name is Chung and I have had the pleasure to meet a handful of you on here. I actually have probably met or seen many of you on here as I used to work for Tong's in Fountain Valley, hopefully if you received any help from me while I worked there it was a good experience. I was employed there for nearly 8 years so chances are if you go there, I have seen you. Last month however I quit to pursue my career and finally landed myself a full-time job that starts sept 8th.

Anyways my current tank is a 75g 36x20x24, over the tank is a radion g2 pro and an aquatic life 39w quad retrofit kit with ATI bulbs. For flow I have 2 MP40Wes and Sicce return pump.

Under the tank I have a 30g sump with a BM NAC-6 skimmer and BM dosing pump, dosing BRS ca, mg, and alk. For ATO I run hydor smart level with 5g reservoir. Yes, very simple equipment list but if you've seen my tank it has been very successful this far.

I do 10g water changes every other week using catalina water and go through about 5g of top off water every week.

Tank inhabitants:
I am a big fan of tonga branch so for aquascape that is all I used.. It used to be not-so-full but as the tank aged and I kept buying corals I ran out of room which called for adding more rock. Now it is just too full for my liking.

I do plan on upgrading in the near future to a 48x24x20 with a minimalist look with tonga. Going to get rid of all of my soft corals soon and go SPS/LPS only.

Fish list currently:
-2 clowns. 1 davinci and one true perc
-a pair of flame wrasse
-a pair of yellow coris wrasse
-male rhomboid
-male lineatus
-borbonious anthias
-trio of bartlett anthias
-midnight circus goby
-target jawfish
-neon goby

Now onto the pictures:



































I hope you enjoy the pics!

I just saw Chung's tank last weekend, and it was so awesome. Thanks for sharing, Chung. You are always a nice guy even though you don't work at Tong anymore. Congrats on the new job.

Thank you all for all the kind words, as you all know these tanks are a lot of work and time but very worth it in the end. I am happy with this current tank but I am also looking forward to upgrading and setting up an apex to make things a little easier.

I've learned a lot from members here and also customers that I talk to at Tong's. I'm glad to be part of a great reefing community.
