Hi all,
I've been on here for about a year now, not posting much, trying to learn as much as I can. So first off thanks to all that have posted questions or just relayed the own experiences as I have learned a great deal from you all.
I started out just over a year ago with a 29 gallon reef tank and just recently upgraded to a 75 gallon tank. I use a Fluval canister filter and hang on back filter. Eventually I would like to upgrade to a sump but I am not there yet. For lighting, I use 2 led light strips and if anything it is too much light. I also have a hydro circulator that combined with the return from the filters gives the tank a good amount of circulation.
For water changes I am using distilled water from the grocery store and mixing it with Red Sea Coral Pro. I started that about 8 months ago and saw a noticeable difference in coral growth vs. buying saltwater from the LFS.
I look forward to learning more and eventually making it to a meet.
Brian
