Hey its clowns101!

Hey guys,
My name is Austin and on the forums I go by clowns101.Some of you may know me from other sites but I decided to come over here,register,and fo from there.

I have been in the reefing hobby for quite a few years had have 2 tank set up.I had 8 going but had to take down the systems due to lack of space and room for my hobby.So at this point I have 3 tanks all salt water.1 of my tank is going to be an SPS dominated tank.My other 2 tanks are really just for the extras I just have to have to say I have them!Get what I mean!I did lose all of my SPS is a tank crash when my phosphates went way to high and the cyano bacteria took over.Most of my acros STN'ed and RTN'ed on me within a week.I lost my prised WaterMelon Chalies and some of my other chalices collection.However,I have set my tank back up and have upgraded.I within the next 6 weeks will be taking that tank down and doing an 45 gallon acrylic cube tank SPS and LPS domintated system.

Some of you may know that I also bred some clownfish,damsles,angles,and gobies.However,I had to take my systems down to allow space for a new family membernot anew kid family member had to move in short term,so guess what,bye,bye tanks!).I still have 4 spawning pairs of fish.# pairs of clownfish,and 1 pair of spawning damsles.

I also enjoy the Koi keeping hobby.Next spring we will be taking up our old 1,500 gallon pond and replacing it with a 3,470 gallon koi pond.I have raised koi and water garden plants just as long as I have acropora and other corals.

My new tank system will only house rare,collectable,exotic,and uique corals.Im not a Bali Green Slimer guy.Im more of a Ice Fire Echinata,Bubble Gum Millipora,Exotic Chalices,and all the Tyree corals.SO this system will be just that.However,I will still do the fun corals like Torches,FrogSpawns,Hammers,Trach's,etc.

Another part of the hibby I really enjoy is clownfish and anemones.That why I have the name clowns101!I have kept a larger number of diffirent anemones and have spawned some males E.quadricolors a.k.a Bubble Tips.Now I just need to find a larger female and see if I can do anything.Which I doubt I can do,but I said the same thing 8 years ago about a SPS tank!But look at where its got me!I dont know if it will work,but we will see!

I hoped to welcomed here and be able to make new coral,and anemone friends just like I have on other sites and forums!

I also want to thank jgonzz for refering me to this site!

Thanks,
Happy CORAL reefing!
