New member, novice reefer

Here are pictures of my current reef. Been into reefing since my divorce in 2007. Started with a 5g bow front (disaster), then got a 12g Aqua Pod, added a 8g Bio Cube, added a 34g hex and then through them all into a 55g tank. Upgraded to a 75, it leaked so down graded to a 29 standard with a 10g sump. Got a good deal on a new 55 and free oak stand and ran that as a FOWLR then the 29 crashed. Lost every thing but some duncans, colony of pink zoas and a lobo. Got pretty discouraged but eventually started collecting corals again thanks to some generous friends. Now I'm running a 72g Bow Front with a 35g TruVu 300 series sump/refugium with a phosban reactor, eshopps skimmer, diy carbon reactor with water returned by a Mag 7. Modest system, but I'm not rich. Hope to learn some new things here and look forward to talking to you all.

Forgive my poor photo skills.

Nice looking setup. That's a nice sized clam you have got their!

 

LFS had it for $199 and bleaching out as it was under pc lighting....I told the manager to have mercy on it and sell it to me for %50 off. He did, it got all it's color back and now eats Ca all day. I like it. Takes up some room, but i like it.
