Hello all,
New member here, my son Ethan and I are building our first SW setup. We are making this a science project for him and a financial minimalist project for me! We attended the meeting last week and enjoyed meeting some of you. Thanks Tom (@origami) for the hospitality and the advice!
A very special thanks to Marco (@monkiboy) at Exotic Reef Creations for giving us a smokin deal on an Evergrow LED light. Our CL deal fell through and we didn't have the budget for a more expensive light. If it wasn't for Marco, out project would of went on hold till next month, thank you very much! Light is great and we are even seeing a tan cabbage leaf coral that came along for the ride with our rock come back to life nicely!
Speaking of which, also big thanks to Tom (@kyle&amy) for another smoking deal on about 50 lbs of live rock. (And our first coral that came along for the ride!) despite my poor rockscaping, looks like it is going to be great!
In addition to the rock, we are running a HOB filter for mechanical now with a surprise diy filter to come soon for the long term. Here's some pics and one question about another couple of passengers on our rock.
Thanks again for the great group!
