Hey All Well I used to lurk a bit when this forum started I dont remember how many years ago. But looks like it has grown into something very unique, informative and helpful to us reefers. Just like a frag :-) Anyway just wanted to say hello. Been into marine for 20 years or so off and on serious. Know is the time for me to really get it going. Tank has always been there and running and at times very striking and beautiful. But life takes you different places when your building a business(or losing:-)) and raising a family. Anyway its time to up my game. Just getting ready to build my DIY LED rig so that should be fun. Sure I will be posting some questions on that. So that means Ill be dumping my T5 system if anybodies interested. I have a 170 reef in my master in the wall. I built this before I really had a great understanding of how much room you need outside the tank. Boy if I could go back in time when I built I would have built a room just for the tank. So it has constrained me room wise underneath but hey work with what you have. So just saying hello and looking forward to chatting with you all on the forum and maybe at a monthly meeting. Lance  |

Thanks! Its a sponge. Well my favorite Angels also. Unfortunately he(emperor) bit the dust last night. Little bit of a pressure sale I bought it a few weeks ago from Live rockin reef and I shouldnt have. It was like hey Ive got twenty guys calling are you going to buy it or what? Should have passed looked great brought it home and had ick cysts in the morning. I havent seen ick in my tank in over 10 years now all the fish have it so well see if Im going to have a fish reboot, I hope not. Anyway no more impulse buys for me on untreated fish.  I had an Emperor for about 8 years they are great fish and not to bad in a reef. Love zoo's unfortunately. |

| By the way these Angels never go at it. Even my last one they were very good together. |

Very nice tank. I can't wait till I can say I have been in the Marine world for 20 years. My journey including freshwater is maybe to 15 though.
