Hello everyone! I just registered here and I thought I'd give myself a bit of an introduction. My name is Jess and I'm 16 years old. I've been keeping FW tanks for about 6 years and have been researching reef aquariums for about 6 months. I currently do not have any fish, my last fish were 2 red bellied pacus which died a few months ago. I'm working starting a 65 gallon reef. At the moment I have the tank on an oak stand (well, fake oak) and it's full of RO water and has an SG of 1.024. I currently have:
2 powerheads
1 tronic heater
1 Fluval 204
60lbs agagonite
Coralife PC lighting: 4-65W, 2 actinic and 2 10000K
I will be making my own skimmer soon and will buy 1 more powerhead. I'm looking for some live rock at the moment. I'm thinking of ordering some Fiji from J&L Aquatics, but I'd like something cheaper. I'm on a very tight budget. I'm thinking about buying some base rock first and then adding LR. I have been a member of Reef Central for a few months and have learned a great deal there, and I'm very excited about finally being able to talk to some people who live in the same city as me!
Here's a recent picture of my tank (it's a bit boring right now, I know...) sorry it's so dark, the flash on my camera wasn't working.
