Hello, I've been lurking around Reef Sanctuary for quite some time - using it as an alternative addition to some of the more popular platforms.
I really enjoy the content that gets posted around here, as well as the new tastes and vibes that have been created. And now, I just had to make it official.
For the past eight years, I've always had a reef. My current setup is a 210 mixed reef, run dirty with a mix of Softies, LPS, and SPS - Lobo's, Shrooms, Chalice, Acans, Favia, Leptas, Leptos, Monti's, and a few acros. I've gotten far into propagation these days - fragging just about anything and everything I get my hands on, at least once, to understand how they respond to being split - lobos included, rather successfully might I add.
I also run a 20G AIO side tank that resides in the kitchen; a few nems, shrooms, and LPS.
Reefing is considered to be my main winter hobby, as gardening keeps me away and learning familiar growing related things in the spring, summer, and early fall. I use a majority of the winter time to read some gardening books, write reef related articles, and catch up on some of the bigger tank project's I've been planning over the vegetable growing season... funnily enough, the vegetable growing season is also basically my coral 'growing out' season.
I'm curios if there are any other gardeners out there who also reef.
If so, please share your thoughts and experiences on the considerable overlap the two different, but eerily similar hobbies provide.
Also, keep an eye out for some articles I'll be cross-posting to Reef Sanctuary, I hope you enjoy the content.
