introducing myself and tanks

Hello Living Reef peeps,
My real name is Jon, and I'm a addicted to reefing.

Seriously though, I'm an almost three year learner to this hobby. I heard about this forum from Bifferwine while doing an episode of Talkingreef Live. So far I am very impressed with the diversity here at LR.com.

I'm hoping I might be able to help a few people not make some of the mistakes I've made and learn from others from the mistakes they've made.

Re: introducing myself and tanks

Just realized I didn't introduce my tanks. Right now

72g bow front with 100g rubbermaid sump and 20g refugium. T5 lighting, Tunze circulation and H & S skimmer.

180 filled with water and LR awaiting plumbing to the basement.

14g Oceanic Biocube.

Re: introducing myself and tanks

Thanks for the welcome! I'll try to get some pics up of the 180 build.

Knowing that the 72 is on its way out I haven't scraped the glass in a LONG time. I pretty much just have a small viewing window into the tank that have managed to keep coralline free. You really would not want to see it in its current state....its sad.

Hi Poppin! I'm glad to see you made it over. We're pretty friendly and casual on this forum. Which is nice for a change. I hope you enjoy your time here! And like others have said, we love pictures...
