What’s up guys? Spoke to a few of you at the Flemington frag swap a few weeks ago, so figure I’d pay my dues and see what the club is all about!
I’m a long time freshwater guy (and actively involved with the North Jersey Aquarium Society). I love local fish clubs and am excited to watch this one grow. I’ve dabbled with saltwater a few times in the past, but never stuck with it for one reason or another. This tank will hopefully change that.
As far as reefing ethos, my r2r build thread’s caption “all killer, no filler” pretty much sums it up. I think we have a habit of complicating things. With that in mind, I run a pretty bare bones system. The tank is lit by a gen 6 Radion XR15 Blue, ATO by Tunze, and flow by Jebao. I don’t run a skimmer, mechanical, or chemical filtration. As of late, I’ve been dosing AFR by hand to keep alk stable. I don’t test for anything else. The tank is almost 6 months old and, tbh, it’s been nothing but flowers and sunshine so far.
I’ll post some older pics to set the scene and catch up to present day in the next few posts.
