    I've always been fascinated with marine fish and corals since I was little. In the summer of 2006 my neighbor set up a 75 gallon reef tank and asked me to help her out. After a full summer of helping her out with the tank my Dad gave me the okay to start my own! I have been researching marine tanks just about everyday and will never stop learning. Forums are a great start because you can ask many experienced hobbyists questions and reading articles from Home - Reefkeeping Magazine Online has helped too.

    I bought the tank, it's a reef ready 120 gallon by Perfecto. I build the refugium/sump.

    Updates, I started the DIY 3-Part, I added a few SPS frags from Fraggle Reef and I took out one of the Koralia 4's.
