    Hey All,

    I've been involved in the Reef Hobby for about 2 years now. I'm up in Thompson, Manitoba, Canada ... and am one of 3 reefers in my whole city. I have a 92 Gallon Corner bow front mixed reef. Everything you can imagine, SPS, LPS, Zoas, Anemones, Clams, Fish ... A great variety.

    My tank is completely home made, other than the tank itself. Everything from the stand, to the sump, to some of the filtration is DIY projects that I undertake up in the sticks.

    The biggest challenge being a northern reefer is getting livestock. I have to make a 600 mile drive to bring livestock home ... survival is a gamble most times.

    Some Pics of the tank.

    Some Beautiful Aussie Acans

    A few frags I've got in the main tank, Florida Rics, Jade Ring zoas, Some unidentified orange palys

    Nice Blasto and Some Random red mushrooms that just showed up one day

    A nice chunk of frogspawn

    Some of my brains, suncoral, and gsp in the background.

    And a Full tank shot for perspective. The new FTS is missing a few pieces from the individual photos ... as they have been sold to make room in my sandbed.
