After 6 years out of the hobby and 2 moves later I am finally diving back in..I currently set up a 75 gallon rr with about 100 pounds of live rock and a classic reef octopus skimmer...Giving the led lights a try and so far I have to say im happy..Im running a mag8 as a return and an old Mrc sump that I had left from a previous build..
Welcome to ORCA forums and welcome back to the hobby.
Welcome!
welcome. the club is having a frag event this month at the meeting. always a great place to get some nice size frags real cheap. and its a ton of fun.
hope to see you there. most folks post there frags they are bringing in the last few days before the event or while there bagging them up from the frag tanks to bring so don't be surprised if 200 frags get posted the night before.
usually a great variety as well. I'll be bringing a ton of different things.. nothing too crazy but various birdnest chalices and a few "BUDS" rainbow variety bubble tip anemone's as well.
We also try n get a few special pieces from the local LFS stores and auction them as well. We make sure we have something for everyone at all levels of the hobby. Can't beat the prices either. frags 2-35$ usually.
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!!!!
Sounds great..what's the location the meeting will be held at?? I'll make sure I bring a little money..looking for softies such as Xenia,toadstool,other leathers and such thanks!!
