    My 220 build

    Thanks to Melissa's 560 gallon custom aquarium, I now have a 220 gallon aquarium. This is the beginning, just keeping some rock alive.

    I keep water, last checked about 600 gallons worth.
    Problem is animals keep using it as there water closet.
    Worst of all the littlest ones keep using up all the supplies.

    I haven't updated for awhile. Here are a few picks of items picked up at the Frag Events at the club meetings.

    looking good david... if your on this side of town let me know ill give you a few more pieces to add to that tank. I have a few extra pieces of birds nest n so forth i can get rid of. should be putting corals into the 300 this week i think. finally have the water quality stabilized and parameters are sps range now.
    Four individual systems Right now.
    30gal red sea 130d lps/softies/anemone tank, kalk ato, reef bright led strip.
    40 softies set up.
    550 total gallon marineland 300 DD main system 18 months old now and stabilized. T5 VHO lights/ BLUE led strip, Fully custom built LIFE REEF sump and FUGE, AWESOME 60" tall skimmer, and 1000+ gallon rated custom Ca reactor, 3 50 gallon attached SPS frag systems lite with a combination of HM and LED and T5 fixtures.
    A 200 gallon MARS quarintine with UV system/ medication for new arrivals.

    Still lots to learn about the hobby but I have amassed a great collection of real beauties. I have broken past the stage of keeping things alive and now there actually growing out. Which is a big hurdle for many beginners I must admit. Good information and advise is hard to get sometimes and the club has done wonders with respect to quality advise and help in the hobby.

    THANKS Orlando Reef Educators Organization!!!!
