    This is the first forum I ever joined. I have a 150 gallon with a 30 gallon sump, fluval fx5 and fluval 404. also have 5 power heads moving about 7000gph.
    about 150 lbs of rock

    Fish: Royal Gramma, Hippo tang, Maroon Clown, Picaso Clown, Black OC clown, Flame Angel, Coral Beauty, and 2 black molly's that I just converted. :)

    Also Coral Banded shrimp, 1 cleaner shrimp and 4 peppermints shrimp. Couldnt count the amount of snails and hermit crabs.

    Large Frogspawn that I fragged and a ton of leather that I have been fragging. Also tons of mushrooms, some zoas and a duncan and a hammer i just got.

    I have tendancy to spend a lot of money but do things half assed. I am trying to learn and try to do things right. Thats why i am here.

    Welcome to 3reef.

    How long have you had this tank running? Sometimes half-assed is better than too much attention. Some of us are a bit anal and won't leave things alone.

    Pics would be great.

    Tank is running 5 or 6 years but about 2 and a half years ago I went away for a week and the tank crashed. It killed me and made me so mad that i ignored the tank for almost 2 years, not even one water change. Then about 6 months ago i started working on it again and bringing it back to life. I am at work now but later i will post pics of how it looked before it crashed and some of how it looks now. Sickening when i see those old pics compared to now but i will get it back.
