Hi I am new to the site and I just wanted to break the ice a little bit.
I have been in the hobby a long time since I was about 10 I think I started with freshwater tanks and played around with thtem for a bit and then when I was about 18 I started breed african cichlids mainly from lake tanganyika but I did flirt with Malawi as well. and Ihave been out of that now for about 5 years. I now focus only on marine aquariums I have a 30 gal reef right now and I am currently working on a 100g set up with a 90 gal sump and cost to coast overflow it is up and running I am workink on the rockscape going for the Bonsai look I think, then i will get the flow in there I am thinking of 3 hydor 4 or maybe 3 hydor 3 hummm
which would be better. then I will work on the lighting I think I am going to go with lumen bright reflec lrg and 250 w bulbs and maybe some moon ligths all is work in progress and nothing is concrete. if I can save money I would like to any ideas suggestions anyone lol.
but we all know what that means I eventually want to go bigger so I can keep more fish. so I guess I am going to have to learn how to build and acrylic aquarium lol. I will also need to know how to make my own LR so I can save money in both areas so I can spend more else were lol.
anyways there yo all go a little about me.
