Hello MASC!

[Smiley]

Hi, my name is Fred and have been in the hobby for a few years. My most recent tank is a 55g mixed reef containing over 300 different species. I am currently in the process of tearing it down for a move across the country to Ft. Collins in the next few weeks. I look forward to meeting new people and sharing my past experiences along with gaining some insight on my future tank build (provided my wife allows me to tear apart our new house).

Whoa, nice! Welcome to MASC, have a safe trip over, and hope your tank/livestock move goes well too.

I am being dragged along with my wife so she can start her career. I wish I could bring my livestock with me but it will be a while before I have a new system set up. I have my favorites banked at the aquatic shop I currently work for. They will ship them to me once I get a new system rolling.

 

[Cake_Boss]

What kind of system are you aiming for?

Welcome.

I'm not quite sure how big I can go yet but i am hoping to have a mixed reef display of about 300 gallons with a display refugium of about 75g. I also plan to have a captive coral propagation system that can hold over 1000 frags. All lighting will be led.

Are you a DIYer?

 

[Smiley]

Yes...... yes I am..... I actually thought it was a requirement to be a reefer.

 

[Cake_Boss]

I think this begs the question....where's the pics, brah?

 

[Smiley]

Ill post a few when I get home from dinner.

Welcome! But as the old saying goes it didn't happen if you don't have pics!

Holy stocked tank. Awesome. Is that a hairy mushroom? Never seen one that color. Very nice. You can ship me frags of all your corals and I'll hold them until your ready to get them back.
