    It is a 120 gallon with ~40 gallon sump (changing this weekend). It currently has around 100 lbs of base rock that I am seeding with 3 lbs of live rock rubble from premium aquatics. I also have around 140 lbs of sand in the tank (started dry and seeded with 20 lbs of live sand). My original plans were to go fish only but it looked to bare so I decided to change over to a reef (which is why I only used the 3 lbs of rubble, Dont want to kill my clown). Now I just need to get my clean up crew and some better lighting ;D

    Thanks! I was pretty excited when I found out there were others in the area that were into the whole reef deal. Now I have locals to learn off of :cheesy:

    Now all we need to do is get Shehan to host a meeting so we all can get together. Come on bmshehan Zach is going to have his tank up and running by the time you get around to it. ;D

    Too late, we've given up on you buddy. Can't wait forever.


    On a brighter note, Scott has offered to host the next meeting at his humble abode. If you are interested in checking out the IRC or Otty's tank this next meeting is a must make.

    I will have some frags to sell or trade at the meeting. Right now I'll have some bright orange zoas and some branching hammer frags. Might be able to come up with some other's. I'll also be giving away a frag as a "door prize"
