Default Just wanted to say hey!

New here. I am a lover of LPS, and enjoy collecting aussie acans, and crazy SPS pieces.
My spelling is always aweful, but this looks like a great site!

I currently have a 700 gallon system. 180 gallon in wall. 100 gallon rubber maid sump. 40 gallon fuge. 50 gallon clam tank with only a 10 inch depth! 2 x 55 prop tank, and one 40 long prop tank. All plumbed into one system. Not a big fish fan, I love only my corals.

Skimmer - G6
Calcium Reactor - Pm
Kalk reactor - Pm
Ac III with 4 dc8's
retro above clam tank with 250 watt 10k ushio
Above the main display, I have just upgraded to Luminarc III reflectors, with 250 icecaps,
14k pheonix bulbs.
If you would like to see my setup utube: and search for Salthub or deadhermitwalkin.

I will post some pics as I go!

Hope to meet some new people!

Thanks!

MArc

Nikon D80 Ryan. I really like it, and it seems to do a great job.

Some new additions I added today:









rics from Florida. Acan, and yellow Acro from a local LFS.
