Zach_discus Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Hello new to the site but not reefing! Located North/East of Seattle I’m Monroe WA. About me 41yr old machinist. Originally from Mary’s Home MO. Married to my awesome wife Nicole. We have one very mischievous 3yr old little girl Aria. Also at the house is our 6 dogs and 3 Spinx cats. Current tanks include a 70gallon frag tank, 190gallon reef tank. Those two are connected to a 150 gallon sump in my fishroom. Newest addition is a 250 gallon Envision acrylic tank that’s getting picked up this Sunday. This will be the new in house display tank. I also have a 580gallon DSA tank that’s resting comfortably in the garage awaiting a home remodel we plan to do in the Summer of 2020. I love all corals but SPS are the closest two my heart. Looking forward to meeting and or conversing with you all about this great hobby. thanks Zach 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuncrestReef Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 (edited) Wow, if my math is correct, that's 1,240 gallons once the big tank comes online. Even without it, that's still a lot of water. Photos, please. 😀 Welcome aboard! Edited February 19, 2019 by SuncrestReef 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albertareef Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Welcome Zach! Sounds like you might have your hands full with that collection of tanks and furry pets. Looking forward to seeing some pics of your setups if/when you get s chance. Maybe you will have a chance to make a meeting one of these days - we do have the occasional one up in Kelso. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are kinda funny, more like a dog in a lot of ways, but still some kat in them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taking the 190 out of the fishroom and selling the frag tank. Replacing it with a 96x20x12 frag tank in the next couple weeks. My goal for the frag system in to not have to frag corals out of the display until they get overgrown and need a trim. Duane up here does that and it really seems to keep his stock very healthy and his 220 display is hard to argue against! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zach_discus Posted February 22, 2019 Author Share Posted February 22, 2019 Sorry everyone something came up this week that has keep me very busy. A opportunity to do one of my favorite things. Look through lots of aquarium equipment. Long story and if I see you in person I can tell the tale. Lol im not always the beat with pics. Mostly because I suck at taking good one. Here is a couple from my current fishroom set up. It’s is going to be going through a overhaul in the next month. This is getting switched around to a frag trough 8ftx20”x12” tall. The 190 and glass frag tank are both splen for already. Constant flux around here. E6E5F598-2FCC-4DAC-BEAC-AB04503D1B8B.MOV 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
