Okay here it goes, better late than never. I started with saltwater about 12 to 13 years ago. I had a 75 gallon tank with a fuval fx 405 coral life aqualunar deluxe light and some idk maybe 1st Gen Hydor korillas. Couple months later added coral life super skimmer 125. So let's fast forward about 6 to 7 years, I built a sump with hob overflow, went through about 5 korillas, bought the smart wave for them, and a used 6 bulb t5. Let me tell you I thought I was in my glory days. My reef was rocking. About a year later I stitched to my current maxspect razors and played the led is wreaking havoc on my reef game, it took some time to figure out but i was able to stop the bleaching. Two years later I upgraded to a 90 long with a 55 gallon sump and added a reef octopus classic 160 int skimmer. Take was doing well, or at least as good as it could for bad husbandry. I experimented with alot of different fish and learned real quickly why some don't belong in a reef tank. About two yrs. ago I moved into my now wife's parents house. I kept the tank at my parents and on my way home from work I would feed and fill evap. in sump. Every 2 to 4 wks doing a water change. Yes this was a bad time for my take. In March of 2016 I had done enough renovating in my in laws house that the upstairs had became an apartment for us and I was finally able to transfer the tank over. In August of 2015 I saw an add for a brand new rr 93 cube and stand for a great price and jumped on it. I also bought a brand new eshopps r100 sump and gyre fx150 for the tank. I had to do some modifying to the stand to make it work better for me but needless to say it was all done by March. My tank transfer went extremly well. As of toady the only thing I changed was the gyre for a set of jebao sw15s, and a bio reactor around June of 2016.
