Moving to NJ From Southern California

[friendlyvission]

I will be moving somewhere near the morristown area in the next few months because of a job, and i wanted to introduce myself to you all.

I have been reefing since 95 when i got my first 120 FOWLR which was setup for 3 years and got out of the hobby. in 2001 i got back into the hobby while stationed @ naval station san diego with a 10 gallon nano. That tank was running for a long while until i upgraded to my current 26 reef tank which has been running for a couple of years.

I had been planning on and purchasing items for an upgrade for almost year now, but had been holding off on putting it together due to the move. I will be posting the build once i get moved and settled in by december.

i look forward to making new friends and stocking the tank with new goodies.

here are a couple of pics of my current tank that which is pending to another reefer.

Hi and welcome. I have a bunch of different macros and live sand I'd be happy to send you after you move if you get a fuge going and/or you keep a sand bed. And probably a few other things to get you back on your feet like a coralline rock or something.

Hey welcome, you're pretty close to where i am (about 20 minutes away). You can also create an account in www.njreefers.org and meet other NJ reefers there as well.

Good luck with the upcoming move!

In addition to what i have pictured i have a 30'" 4 bulb aquatic life T5 Fixture, Tunze Osmolator 3155, Titanium Heater, JEBAO WP-25 wave maker.

There are about 45 to 50lbs of Dry Rock, 60lbs of Fiji Pink, ill be using a Rio 3100 as my main return.

What i have left to complete the build is making my durso, installing the overflow, getting pvc for plumbing, Fuge light, and getting an apex controller.

Im a bit unsure if i will be using the ASM G2 skimmer i have.

I will have to buy new bulbs for my T5 fixture before the end of the year.
