    Hi my name is Scott and have been in the hobby for almost 3 years now. A lot of trial and error. I started out with a 55g with a seaclone and no sump. Went to a 75 with an aqua c look alike and a 20 g sump. Now I am running a 125 with a C/L, aqua euro usa 400 skimmer, two 50 g tubs for a sump/refugium and a 30 g frag tank that I made (48 x 24 x 12). All of it tied together. It is a mixed reef with softies, LPS, and SPS. My favorites are zoas and prob. have more of those than any other coral.

    Thanks for the welcome.

    Couldn't find any updated pics of the 125. 2 250 MH 14k and 1 175MH 20k with VHO actinics. This was right after the switch from the 75 to the 125. Added a lot more rock and corals since then.
