Hello 3reef

Site is awesome. I have learned so much from these boards! I've been in the FW hobby for a couple years and decided it was time to get into reefing! Just like everyone else here, I'm addicted. I spend way too much time researching, learning, and sharing my experiences. The main thing I love about the hobby is that there is always something new to learn. I've been involved in my local boards for a while and was inspired to join a larger forum. I started with a 20g hex, then 55g, now a 72g w/ 20g long sump. Mostly softies and LPS, starting to get into sps a little more. As far as livestock goes, I'm pretty overstocked at the moment but my nitrates stay <10ppm and my corals are doing great. I will try to get a current picture of my tank up tonight. Always a work in progress like everyone else's I'm sure.

 

Hello and welcome to 3reef.

 

So that IS you Matteuw...
Welcome!

 

Welcome to 3reef. What fish do you have?

 

Welcome aboard!!!!

 

I knew I was going to have to answer that question. I know its a little overstocked but some will be moving to my 20Xhigh once it cycles and proves it can sustain life.

Currently in my 72, Fish I have: 3 reef chromis, firefish, lawnmower blenny, B&w perc, ocellaris, small hepatus tang, and a red mandarin. 9!!! Holy Crap! Luckily they are all still small!

As for inverts:40-60 nassarius snails, 8 astreas, several stomatella hitchikers, 20 blue legs, 10 red legs, cleaner shrimp, 3 peppermints, one very destructive mexican turbo, and finally....one pistol shrimp that got banished to the sump for killing my first round of peppermints and my first cleaner.

Only one death since I started reefing. My watchman goby hopped in my overflow and his tail got sucked off. Died after 3 days of missing a tail.

 

Yeah that's a lot but it's not as bad as you made it sound. Would love to see pics of the tank.

 

welcome to 3reef matt. quite true about soon to be over stocked. a tough decision gonna need to be made , who goes. lol. be nice if they stayed the same size in your case. i look forward to pics.

 

I found some old random pics I took a while back.
Result of placing the frogspawn too close to my peppermints spot.

Some palys fighting over some blood worms. They all won! I tried to get a pic of the pods trying to steal the food from them, but my camera is a POS.


I'll post some full tank shots when I get home. I had these on my flash drive.

 

Looks good. Can't wait to see the full tank shots.
