Hello All,
I'm not totally new. I remembered my old login from 2014! lol
I used to have a nice 90 Gallon setup, but I lost during hurricane Sandy. Im sure you've seen that posted many times...
We'll I set up a 20 gallon for my granddaughter recently, and after cycling the tank out for a month with a couple of Picasso clowns, I went to pick up another fish for her tank.
I got in to a conversation about reefing with a local store owner and he told be that things have changed a bit. Not many people use live rock now, buy use dry rock, phosphates are good thing now, skimming isn't so necessary these days due to new beliefs, and that tanks are hard to come by during covid-19 pandemic when asking about pricing.
Anyway, I felt like a challenge was presented. I wanted a 93 Cube now, and I'm going to find one! Called around to several stores, and most said that they couldn't source one. If they could, the shipping would be $300.
I got creative, made a call to PA and found my 93 rimless paid for it on the phone, and I was on the road at 7AM the next day to go and get it! -Done!
Then I had a lighting conversation while there. Oh Boy! A week later I ordered two ecotech Marine Radion XR15Pros -Done!
Then I knew that I had to build a stand next time around... So I framed a 30x30 setup, built my stand and stained it a nice Teal color. -Done!
I have my live rock from Pacific East Aquaculture still in a rubbermaid garbage can from 8 years ago
Still have my reef Octopus XL250
And just made a sump this week. It has been a busy two weeks!!! It's good to be back!!!
