SALTY WATERS Project
The Intro
Hello everyone,
To those of you who do not know me, I have been a proud member of this forum since Feb. 2005. I currently work in the Aquarim field specializing in SW system at my LFS. I have been in the SW hobby for over 5yrs, with a small brake since sping 2007 when I sold off my 20g w/15g sump Nano reef
http://www.myfilestash.com/userfiles...oral%20010.jpg, to go on my 5 month EuroTrip... but now it's time to get back!
The Project
I am in the process of setting up a small scale in house frag operation. I could have easily set this up at a much lower cost by using ugly plastic tubs and cheaper lighting fixtures, however, being it will be located in my sitting room, I wanted to keep it esthetically pleasing to the eye... hence the overkill on everything! I also would like to keep it as an active reef with fish, inverts and the like, so I decided to go with the below to accomidate all my wishes
