    Just found this site and wanted to be apart of it.
    I have been maintaining aquariums on and off since I was 10years old but I have been out of it for almost 10 years now so I have alot ot learn with all the new technology and the vast amount of cool things going on nowdays.

    Anyways my tank is a 120g acrylic 4x2x2 with 40b dyi sump. Lighting is 2-175w 20k mh and 2-96w actinics. Just set the tank up a couple months ago and mainly just have zoa's and pally's. Plan to make it a mixed reef as I'm more into Lps and softies but like the occasional sps.

    Thanks guys. Here's some pics I took. My camera is pretty bad and I can't seem to get the color to come out on these zoa's and pally's lol.That's about all I have in it right now is polyps. I do have a rbta also with b&w oc clowns. They are mean they bit me like 30x this weekend when I was moving the rock around lol. My knuckles look like I was in a fist fight due to them lol.

    I have since taken out 75% of the sand. Decided to not go with a deep sand bed. I have 2 custom aquascaped pillars in the tank at this time. Had 3 but decided was to crowded. Previous look

    Here it is now.

    This one looks orange in the pic but is really a bright pink in person. Really nice.

    I like the newer scape much much better. Very distinct and natural looking.

    Beautiful Zoanthids and Palys.
