new here, but not to the hobby

[ReefKeeper]

hello all !!

i am new to this site (refered by LionFish), but have been in the hobby for about 3 years and fragging corals for about 2 1/2 years. i write articles for an online magazine (Reefreaders - July 2007) and also help my friends on another forum (Talkingreef) with podcast episodes on the hobby. i also sell frags to supplement some of the expenses of the hobby.
Oh ... i am also on the frag committee of my local club (Louisville Marine Aquarium Society :: Louisville Marine Aquarium Society).

current setup ...

125 gallon SPS dominated RR display, 100 gallon (8' long) frag tank, 30 gallon refugium, all plumbed into a 100 gallon rubbermaid sump. total water = 315 gallons.

Display ... 3x250w 10k metal halides and 2x160 actinic VHO supplemental lighting. 6090 GPH of flow.

frag tank ... 4x110w VHO (1 half) and 2x150w halides w/4x96w PC actinics.
1450 GPH of flow.

Skimmer is a 1 of a kind Euro reef knock off that was made for MY system, and has the mesh mod on the needle wheel.
