Beginning Reefer

[mdbv25]

Hello everyone, just wanted to give a shout to all the people. I'm from Mass. and wanted to get to know people in other territories to see how they do there tanks, and what equip. they are using.

I started my 75g RR a month ago, I have 175DE MH's, MRC/MR1 skimmer, 80lbs of rock consisting of Marco and Carribean (live) , 90lbs of Aragamax and Pink Figi (live) as well as 10lbs of live sand from fellow reefer. I have a 30g sump/refugium with a saio 1250 for a return and a mag9.5 for the skimmer. In my sump I have roughly 4-5 lbs of pink figi live sand and Marco rubble along with Carribean live rubble.

My tank is still in the beginning stages of Cycling and can't wait till its done. I plan on starting with the cleaning crew and some Chromis.. I know they are the goldfish of Saltwater but my kids want them.

I would appreciate if anyone had suggestions or comments, I do listen and take notes.

Once again... glad to be here and hope everything goes right in the universe...

Michael
