Hello everybody, my name is Jay.
I was sent in the direction of BRS by a co-worker. I'm unsure of his handle on here but I'm sure he will chime in.
I live in Lowell but travel around the country often with the military. I started with fish about 4 years ago with a 10g fw that turned into; a 30g, 55g, 40g sw and finally a 125g sw.
The 125g has about 100lbs of lr and is stocked with:
Fish:
Vlamingii Tang, Yellow Tang, Purple "Red sea" Tang, Sailfin Tang, Powder Brown Tang, Tomato Clown, Sailfin Blenny, Jade Filefish, Picasso Trigger, Ocellaris Clown pair, Blue Damsel and 10+ Yellow Tail Damsels.
Coral:
Colt, Kenya Tree, Frog Spawn (back from the dead), Mushrooms, Various Polyps.
This tank has been set up for 2+ years but it is coming down soon. I built this stand
and ordered another 125g from Jays. I have an additional 150+lbs or LR on "standby" for this tank as well as my first stab with MH, 2 175W 15K. My intentions are to set up the new tank, cycle and then slowly move stock over to the new tank. My plans for this tank are endless!!
I will be trying out Hard corals for the first time so expect to see some questions regarding their care as well as calcium reactor type questions.
After looking through many fish related forums and reading many "introduction" posts I always for some reason wonder, "how often does this person do water changes" haha
So for the the curious; I treat ick and any other fish malfunction by over-feeding and raising the temp by a ridiculous amount and I only do water chenges when I "feel" like the levels are high. I promise I am going to take water quality and changes more seriously with the new tank
Some other hobbies that interest me are; motorcycle racing, german made vehicles and shooting. Some of the forums I am a member of include: audizine.com, 600rr.net, akarally.com and monsterfishkeepers.com.
I think that about covers all of it, I appretiate you reading!
