Hello there,
My name is mynd. I have about 15 years in the hobby. I have had a 50, 90 and 180 gallon tanks. The tanks have had just about everything you can imagine in them at one time or another. I moved to Australia about 6 years ago and had to leave the hobby. However, I am back in the USA and once again getting back into the hobby.
This time around I am going small but doing things right from the get go. I have ( and not everyone will agree ) decided to use an aquapod 12g this time around with a cl-150 chiller. The tank has some small mods including and extra fan, ups system with GFCI and upgraded pumps. The chiller is utilizing a pressure pump that gives me a continuous flow of about 300GPH back into the tank.
The tank has an MJ900 for return flow and surface agitation and the chiller return line has been moded to return flow back into the tank through the filtration wall. I am using filter floss and purigen in chamber 1 and pretty much nothing else other then Live Rock and Sand.
I am going to be doing softies and lps with the stock lighting of 54 watts. Going to see how things fly. I might upgrade later on to 70w HQI sunpod if I can get someone to trade with me for the server I have listed in the trade forum. I also have a 400w MH with remote ballast and HPS lighting hood that I could trade as well.
I have added my mugshot to my profile, but for some reason it does not like to show up all the time. I hope to make some friends here that might be able to help me out with frags from time to time as I would prefer to see them grow up vs just buying them at the LFS, where who knows what they have. In return as things grow I would hope to use the other AP12 tank I have to frag out what I grow as well.
Going to stick with a colorful array of zoo's and ric's along with some other maybe gorgonian's for depth. I wish you all well and hope to become part of the club shortly, maybe even go to some meetings in the future.
I live in Mountainside, NJ and I am currently a freelance network architect. I basically design and implement new / old network strategies for companies and hook them up. I am currently doing a job for a client which has me configuring a new network structure at the central office and then creating a site to site vpn for the showroom. I am pretty much done with the exception of a few items that need to be configured at the showroom. This is where I am spending most of my time.
During my free time I basically spend it mulling over my aquapod 12G which is almost completed with the exception of chiller and pump. I just got the word from BlueLine that the HD-20 will do the job just fine when connected to the Pacific Coast CL-150. Now all I need to do is sell that server.
