Hello SoCal! I'm on more generic forums such as Reef2Reef, ReefCentral, and Nano-Reef and was always looking to see where's another forum that is still really active in the hobby. I found SoCaliReefs, and it so happens I'm only a 5 hour drive away (I'm from the Bay Area, haha). Rather than be a lurker, hopefully I will contribute to this forum and drool over all of the eye candy that's in SoCal. LOL. At least I recognize a few familiar names on here.
Well, nothing gets an introduction to myself like letting my tank do the talking!
Here's my Solana 25, been up and running since around Sept-Oct of '12. Frags still got to grow, collection still needs more spending. You know how it goes, haha.
Equipment:
Here's some early day photos:
And now we fast forward to a month ago.
As of right now, I removed a lot of pieces that I didn't want, so it looks fairly empty atm compared to the above picture. I also am making the left island an anemone island with some corals (if the btas don't sting them, yikes). I'll post some pics of livestock soon.
Rather than just seeing the fast forward pics, here's my thread on Nano-Reef that shows my tank's journal.
