hello from the desert

I just wanted to stop by and introduce myself. I have been doing the reef thing for a little over a year and am absolutely 100% totally obsessed with it. My wife thinks I'm crazy and need to seek professional help lol. I have a 20gal high mixed reef with a 10gal sump/fuge and a eshopps overflow. About 30lbs of LR and a 2" sandbed. I run a 24" 4 bulb HO t5 setup with moonlights, a turboflotor protein skimmer, koralia nano 425 x2. I keep mainly LPS and softies but am dabbling a bit with the sps.

My livestock list would include a yellow watchman goby, 2 blue/green reef chromies, a PITA 6 line wrasse, scarlet skunk cleaner shrimp and your average CUC.

My random list of corals would include: a ton of zoa's and paly's most notably my large tubb's blue zoo colony and my fire and ice paly's, As far as LPS go 3 colony's of acan's most notable is my death stars that are starting change color again. not sure about the morph but different than other's I have seen, Also my neon pink tip hammer is one of my favorite new additions. Like I said earlier I just started with some SPS and have aquired a german blue digi, scrolling green with purple rim monti and a stylo.

I look forward to talking with all of you and learning a few things as well while I'm here and hopefully passing on some of my knowledge as well.

Happy reefing.

 

Hi Azocean ;D

What no one told me there is an ocean here. J/K. I live in southern az and I so miss the ocean. Anyway Welcome. Got any cool tank pictures ? Oh and please tell me about your PITA wrasse.

 

Hello and welcome to the 3reef family. Of course pics are a must.

 

Welcome, I think I've got a piece of the same ocean you have.

 

Welcome to 3reef

 

welcome to 3 reef Azocean

Welcome and glad to have you.

 

Welcome to 3reef.

 

I'll get pics up as soon as I can, i just moved and re-aquascaped so i definetly need some pics up here soon.

My 6 line is a pain in the arse. He beats up everybody, knocks over frags that are unsecured. pics up sand in his mouth and spits it out to watch the chromies think it's food. To top it all off he has bullied 2 peppermint, 1 cleaner shrimp and a emerald mithrax to death. I am also missing a little clown goby after the move...so I blame the 6 line, heck, anything that happens in my tank I blame the 6 line and 90% of the time it's his fault. Surprising enough my yellow watchman stands up to him.

 

Hello Azocean, where abouts in the desert are you? Welcome aboard!
