I'll start this off I guess.
I've been in the marine hobby six years now. My husband and I started off w/ a standard 6'x2'x2' 180-gallon tank, 30-gallon sump and a 40-gallon refugium sitting on our bathroom counter (bathroom behind the wall the 180-gallon is against).
Unfortunately, the eurobracing on that tank split apart about a year ago. We repaired it as best we could and that lasted a while, but this spring we setup a temporary 100-gallon, bare bottom tank and we are taking the 180-gallon tank down.
We also have a 20-gallon zero-edge clam tank lit by a Giesemann pendant with a 250W DE HQI lamp
I guess you could say I'm really involved in this hobby! I am a Program Director for SEABay, President of the
Marine Aquarium Societies of North America, and I'm a Moderator here on Reef Central.
