My name is Mike and I am a reefaholic. It all started two years ago when I decided to ditch my idea of a project car and spend the money on an aquarium. With help from a friend that has had a reef tank for many years and countless visits to see Jimmy at Exotic Aquatics in Highland, IN, I finally jumped in and got my tank going. My original plan was to do a FOWLER for the first year or so and then go full reef. I wanted to make sure that I could maintain the proper water parameters first before I started to add expensive corals. That went out the window with a visit to see Jimmy when I purchased my first zoa frag. I then started to do the necessary upgrades to my tank to get ready for the switch to reef. I tried a set of LED fixtures from China, but they did not last even a year. Learned a big lesson from that experience. Now I have a set of AI Vega's over the tank and could not be happier. It has been over a year and a half since I made the switch to reef and everything is going well. Here are the stats on my system. Any tips on keeping chalices would be appreciated as I am trying to add some to my tank.
