Hello!

[James_G]

Hi, my name is James. This is an awesome hobby. I have a new 20 Gallon, soon to be reef. This has been a work in progress for over 5 months now and its almost done cycling. I live in Chicago and think this site is a great idea! :rockon:

Thanks for asking, I'm using 18 lbs of dry rock with about 3 lbs of live. I used dry sand also (tropic-eden reef flakes). Im using the AquaC Remora with the Maxi-Jet 1200 and the pre-skimmer, a couple power heads, and a hang on the back filter to run some carbon. I might ditch the filter after the cycle.

For lighting I have 4 X 24W T5's (two actinic and two 10K) with moonlights.

I plan to keep mostly zoanthids and maybe a colt with some frogspawn, hammer, and a brain coral.
