I've been keeping fish pretty much my entire life but I got my first reef tank little over 2 years ago. I've owned fresh water tanks ranging from 1 gallon all the way to 100 gallons with a 20 gallon sump. I saw a biocube 29 with stand and lights on sale for $35 on Craigslist. It had a leak in the corner but I bought it anyway. Cut out every inch of silicone and resealed it and its been running without a leak for over 2 years. For under $20 dollars in supplies I thought it wasn't such a bad deal :p
Anyway it's a small reef tank that I'm growing and fragging zoas in. I also am propagating maxi mini carpet anemones. I'm in the middle of building a 20 gallon long frag tank with a 20 gallon sump and a custom LED light set.
I look forward to meeting you all, buying, selling, and trading frags, and I will be at the next meeting.
Happy reefing!
