Title: Addicted in Findlay, OH
Post by: Bucknutz on December 29, 2012, 22:48:13

New to reefing and completely addicted. Took over an established 72 gallon bow front with a 20 gallon sump, and refugium from a friend that had nothing but live sand in it. A couple months later and it is full of life.

Look forward to learning from all you established reefers here.

BuckNutz..........Welcome.  This is a great club you've found here.  I'm also located in Findlay and I'll only admit to a mild addiction.  I'm keeping a 180g tank with around 300g of water total in the system.  Post up some pics of your setup,  I'm always interested in seeing how others design their tanks.

Thanks everyone. Here is a pic of the current setup which is slowly changing every day. It's a 72 bow front with a 20 gallon sump and refugium. No skimmer yet but it is in the plan along with hopefully some LED's.

Tank looks nice and clean, however that nem is looking a little bleached, keep a eye on him.  You thinking of buying LED's or DIY'ing your own fixture?

I think it's just the picture making the nem look bleached. The thing has been a pain in the butt since I got him and he hardly never comes out of the rock.

Not sure on the LED's i've been researching and kind of already planning the transfer of things to a bigger aquarium down the road lol.
