    Hello all...

    Name is James.

    I got into saltwater a few years ago. It was something that I always wanted to do but never did. I got thrown into the hobby due to a friend's uncle moving and some stuff was offered to me. I started with a 55 and soon found out that it wasnt cutting it. I upgraded to a FREE RR 75g that included the tank, stand, wet dry and more rock. I don't think anyone would have passed that one up. ;D

    Equipment:
    75g RR w/standard stand (nothing special)
    Wet/dry converted into a decent sump.
    Filter socks
    Bubble Magus NAC7 Cone Skimmer (amazing skimmer)
    RO/DI unit
    Mag7 for the return. (will probably upgrade to a 9.5 soon)
    Vortech MP40w with a K3 on the other side

    Lights:
    The lights consist of a Current Sundial 48" 4 bulb T5HO w/ built in timers and moon lights (had it over the 55) along with 2 single retro fits powered by an IceCap 660 ballast to make a total of 6 bulbs.

    Current Livestock:
    Gold Banded Maroon Clown
    Tomini Tang (small to medium size)
    Stagorn Damsel
    Blood Red Hawkfish
    Yellow Tail Damsel (used to have 4 until I added the hawk) ::)
    Two GBTA's that the clown bounces back and forth to.
    Various soft corals with some LPS
    Standard clean up crew

    I look forward to talking with you.
