my name is MitchReef and I'm addicted to reef

[MitchReef]

Hey everybody, I just stumbled upon your site and looked around a bit, then decided I ought to join up. I have been keeping corals since the dark ages of the hobby. I had my first captive stony corals in 1986. I am extremely handy which is good because I generally have no budget for hobby expenses. I have had numerous tanks through the years but now have only a little 29G AGA "reef holding tank." It is not the typical 29AGA though, having a drilled overflow and a full sump and fuge, running MH and T5HO supplement. It has a Starry Blennie named Lennie and a pair of ocellaris clowns, a Naked Clown female named Godiva and her Misbar male, Tom. There are about a dozen frags in there, ranging from no-name zoanthids up to a thriving Tyree Miami Hurricane chalice. I am currently working on a new home for the inhabitants. I am building a room in my garage for my 120G 4' reef tank to live in-wall. I will start a thread for the tank build, but unfortunately I have to do real work stuff now.

Thanks for having me,
Mitch
