Hi I just moved to Stockton from Chico to do the Pharmacy program at UOP. I went to the MARS frag swap and met a new friend that referred me here so I cant wait to get to know some new people! I have a 72 gallon bow front and a 14g biocube that I am just starting up.
I wish I would have joined sooner so I could have made it to your meeting a couple weeks ago. Oh well, keep me posted with upcoming events.
Thanks

Hi Chris, and welcome! The members of NVR are pretty laid back reefers, I think you'll like it here. Our next event will be in April, the announcement will be up very soon. Like Mac suggested check out the website, and if you haven't already use the registration form to register. Once you do that you'll get all the club event announcements via email. We're also on Facebook if you do that sort of thing.

If you can, start a new thread and post some pics and/or info on your setups... we always like to see new tanks!

Chris,

I'm glad you found us. How are all the frags you got at the swap? We'll be needing some pictures even if Carol has to take them. Don't forget the ones you got at Your Reef. For all of you that didn't go, Chris cleaned up in the frag swap raffle both with coral and gift certificates.

Welcome aboard.

Gina

Hello my name is Chris, I met Mike at Twins Aquarium in Stockton and he introduced me to NVR.

I've been reefing for about a year now and started out by buying a 12gallon Saltwater Eclipse system for my son Christian. It was his 1st B-day present and my wife had to twist my arm to try saltwater. I heard it was a difficult hobby and I thought I didn't have time for it. My wife has regretted talking me into it ever since.

Well, I ended up buying a used 100 gallon reef system after owning the 12 gallon for 2 months. The 12 gallon was limited on the lighting and volume and I wanted to try some corals, so I spent $600 on the established 100 gallon reef system. I ended up selling my 100 gallon and purchased a 95 gallon wave tank back in Dec.

Here are the specs on my current system.

95 gallon wave tank with 35 gallon fuge
Coralife 2x150 MH's, 2x96 Actinics, 4 LED moons
3 Koralia 4's for water movement
Euro-Reef Protein skimmer
150lbs of LR
150lbs of LS

Fish:

Blue Hippo Tang
Yellow Tang
Sailfin Tang
Maroon Clown
Perc Clown
Damsel
Chromi
Majenta Dottyback
Cleaner wrasse

Inverts:
XXL Pink Bubbletip hosted by my Maroon
200+ hermits
50 Nas snails
1 serpent star
1 Long Spined Urchin
6 Peppermint Shrimp
1 Fire Shrimp
2 Cleaner Shrimp
6 Emerald crabs

Corals:

2 Toadstools
Hammer
Torch
Frogspawn
Star polyps
Yellow button polyps
Colt
Finger leather
acan
Various Zoanthid colonies/Rocks
Pulsing Xenia's
Brain coral
2 Maxima clams
1 Crocea Clam
Various Purple, Red, and green mushrooms
Candy canes
Feather duster

Refugium:
Macro Algae

Chaeto
Red Lace
Ulva
Red Grac

It's been a very addicting and expensive hobby, but has been very rewarding which allows me to spend a few minutes out of my day to get my mind off of work. The next step for me is to try SPS and to look into more Acan's and Blasto's. I'm sure that I could learn alot from the experience of others from NVR and Reef Central. I look forward to talking to some of you guys

Hey Chris,

Hopefully you can make to the meeting next month, the speaker has like 30+ years in the hobby. Should be interesting.

Again WELCOME, Mac

Hi Chris,
