 |  Hello everyone. My first shot at reefing!!
OK,
So I studied up a bit, looked around and found a used setup, and am now probably so over my head, I will be gargling saltwater.
I purchased and setup a used 95G AGA wavefront Aquarium, with a 15g (i think) sump tank with liverock filtration, soon to be a refugium if I figure it out, red sea skimmer, 48" coralife light setup with dual actinic, dual metal hylide, 3 moonlights.
About 110 lbs of live rock, and 3 to 4" of sand. A couple corals.
Varius fish, Yellow Tang, Combtooth Blenny, Pink Spotted Golby, Hippo Tang, Radiant Wrasse, 2 Black Clowns, Purple/Orange pipefish, Cleaner Crew, crabs/snails), Purple lobster. Like I said, I am brand new to this, but am a quick study, and will use the services of a professional every 2 weeks for the next 2 months, or unti I feel confident to fly on my own with the upkeep, and introduction of new speciment to this hopefully beautiful setup in the future. I feel that I have a pretty decent setup to get a nice reef going. I have attached a few pics as I know how y'all like pictures. Enjoy! I look foreward to our future discusions, and feedback on my setup. Near future plans, will be to add a management system (digital) to the system, get a Quarintine aquarium, start adding corals, other fish, and getting some color in this tank. So I bought, moved and set it all up on Wednesday, What do ya think?? Jason Ford (now AKA Reeford)

sweet setup, one thing i noticed in the last picture is it looks to get some direct sunlightfrom a window or something, and this could cause an algae problem. | |

I was very lucky to find a setup that fit in the built in so nicely. | |
