Hey guys, names Steve. In Missouri City. Thought I'd introduce myself with an introduction post. Thought i had a user name here, but apparently not, don't wanna seem like an a$$ because I do have to sell some stuff, but plan on contributing here on the board as well :).
history:
10 gallon tank (built in overflow/internal filter) had that for about 2-3 years when i was a kid
20 gallon long saltwater nano reef tank, had for a year until Ike hit. had a clam, sps corals, and 2 fish. Tank survived Ike then moved to a 10 gallon to my girlfriends house because they had power. ended up selling it due to i couldn't keep up with maintenance on such a small tank. was a project to see if i could get sps/coral growth from a 70w diy metal halide.
current tanks:
~35 gallon oceanic bowfront set-up at my girlfriend's parents house been going on for about 2 years. started with blue gravel and 15 fish. now it's crowded at 20-30 but they are all getting along great. got seachem fluorite in there, a couple fake plants, but have some java fern. waiting to upgrade light to probably 25w PC spiral bulbs then i'll move on to some low-light plants. rarely do water changes on that one.
75 gallon oceanic tank, standard dimensions. bare bottom reef. mostly sps but i am going to slowly collect softies/lps. current inhabitants are, yellow tang, paired ocellaris clowns, skunk cleaner shrimp pair, blue chromis, and 2 lyretail anthias. set-up since May of this year.
will try and get pics of the bow front.
thanks
steve
