Hi all. My name is Chris. I live and work in Tracy, CA. I started my first reef in June '07. There is a photo of my set-up in the 'My Gallery" section. My focus has been mostly Acroporia and Montiporia. But being a newbie I also have the following invertbrates; 2 serpent stars, porites with xmas worms, crocea clam, coco worms, blastmussa, mushrooms, ricordias, green star polyps, zooanthids and actively pulsing xenia. At one time I had a robust cleaning crew but lately I've been culling out hermits and nassarius snails. Resident fish include bartlett's anthias, baggani cardinal, chromis', sailfin and kole tang, xmas wrasse and a yellow watchman goby. I don't plan on modifying the stock list anymore than this but I'm always on the look out for more SPS especially a green and purple plating montiporia. I use chaeto in my refugium and cull a large amount every couple of weeks. Usually I throw it in the trash but I post to see if anyone wants it for free.
I'm also a huge snowboarder. So if anyone is really into steeps, deeps, bumps and hiking let me know. I usually ride solo but always am looking for someone to ride/ski with.
