Just want to say HI
 

New member from northern British Columbia and just want to say hello and I know that I am going to enjoy being a member of this board and get a chance to get to know members from Canada! :biggrin:

Yes, welcome to Canreef.

Welcome from Southern BC.

Hello Ruth.

It is hard having a reef in the boonies isn't it, supplies and livestock aren't close at hand.

Tell us a little bit about your system and inhabitants please.

Boy you got that right! Thankfully I travel quite a bit with my job so am able to take advantage of that to pick us some things when I am in the city (Usually Edmonton or Calgary)
I struggled for a couple of years with a 77g and a 135 gallon, neither of which was drilled so was using canister filters - never again!
I now have a 230g with a 77g. sump/refugium with about 400lbs of live rock. Lighting is 3X400W MH with 4X PC. I have had this set up since last December and it is coming along very nicely. I have 2 false percula clowns and 2 sebae clowns each hosting their own anemone. In addition I have a hippo tang, a yellow tang, coral beauty, firefish, 2 mandarins, an algea blennie, a hector's gobie and a clown gobie. I have some zoos, soft corals like toadstools and zenia and a few LPS, frog spawn-elegance-pagoda-open brain.
I also have a 12 and 24g. JBJ nano cubes at home that are just finishing cycling and a 12g. at work with varios zoos and a tomatoe clown and blue devil damsel.
I am going to be setting up a 190g with a 90g fuge/sump in the very near future which will be a SPS tank.
Holy cow it makes me tired just typing all that!

OK with all those tanks you are more insane than I am.

that cant possibly be true :razz:

I'll have to spend more time on here before I can offer up an opinion on that.
Out of curiosity where do you get most of your supplies from?
