Hello!

Whats up everyone? Figured this is a good place to say hello. I have been keeping SW tanks since 94, primarily fish in the first few years. Started keeping corals in 97 and set up my current reef in 2001. I recently set up a 50 gal breeder as a prop tank since I am sick of growing frags in my display. My current Display is a 90gal AGA, 120lbs +/- of Figi and Marshall Island LR with a few pounds of acuacultured florida. 3'' Crushed coral substrate, 220watt VHO actinics and 192watts 10000k power compacts. I have 2 HOB filters that I use for carbon and Macro growth and three RIO powerheads for circulation. I have always loved zoanthids and have a large collection, I also keep 3 different gorgonians, Ricordea Florida and Yuma, Leather, Nepthias, 5 Sun Corals, Carnation (have had it for almost three years and does extremely well), Echinophyllia, Scolymia, and a growing collection of Acan E and Acan Lords. For fish I have three false percs, one breeding pair that mate every three weeks+/-, rainsford Gobi, Yellow Watchmans Gobi, and a six-line wrasse. Live outside the suburbs of Buffalo in the country, in my last semester of college, getiing married in October and moving down to Asheville NC before xmas. I'm 27. Think that just about covers it!
Here is a semi-current tank pic..

And another with the breeder


More info can be found at my web site My Site

Can't wait to jump into some discussions with all of you,

Brian

i say this as my best advice to a beginner. do not,,,and i repeat,,,,,DO NOT look at my tank as an example....i have a well practised eye, decades of experience, and a trunkload of failures to allow me to force the issue and get away with things most cannot~
