Spschampion Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 Hi, Just wanted to take a minute and introduce myself and my tank. I’m relatively new to the hobby and I have a 120 gallon reef tank with a 30 gallon sump. I bought the system used and have had it up and running for about six months. I have a bunch of different types of corals, but I seem to be into sps the most. Looking to learn anything and everything I can! Thanx 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuncrestReef Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 Welcome! Sounds like you're well on your way. Your tank is about 6 months behind mine in age, so I've had recent experience with the progression of a new tank. Post some photos and give us a description of your setup when you have a chance. Also, feel free to ask advice if you're having any particular problems. There are many people her with good advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

youcallmenny Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 Welcome! There's plenty of sps fanatics here including myself who are more than happy to talk shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emerald525 Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 Welcome to the forum ! Sps can be the most challenging yet rewarding challenges of the hobby! You have come to the right place . There are lots of sps masters ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spschampion Posted May 21, 2019 Author Share Posted May 21, 2019 Thanx for the warm receiving! But I must warn you, I ask a lot of questions! BTW the name is a joke I’m far from a sps champion/master. Hoping to be one someday! Lol I’ll put up pictures of my tank tomorrow.

pdxmonkeyboy Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 Welcome to the club! Always good to have more sps lovers around. I think anyone can be successful with sps, you just need to dedicate a good amount of time into learning and have a complete disregard for the value of money Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albertareef Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 Welcome! I’m sure you will find lots of experienced reefers on here to help answer questions. Like any of us who love SPS patience is key - that and not getting too disappointed when things go wrong because they will, even for the most successful reefkeepers. Oh yeah, and like monkey boy says - don’t get too attached to your money if you love SPS 😁 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lewisriverfisherman Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Welcome to the forum, looks like everyone's covered the basics. I love the challenge of having a mixed reef from zoas to sps it will keep you on your toes, but automation really helps. Looking forward to seeing some pic of your reef!

Spschampion Posted June 9, 2019 Author Share Posted June 9, 2019 Well here’s some pics of my reef. All I can say is that it’s a start. Recently started getting into Acropora after seeing the display tank at premium aquatics. Most of the stuff I have is still frags, but hey you gotta start somewhere! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derbird Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 We are the harshest judges of our own systems. Your tank is looking great. And your already keeping Acros which can be quite challenging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are some of the most fulfilling coral efforts on the forum. Not only do we make 10-20 frags of a unique species of coral for propagation and vitality, but it's also is a good team effort to get cheap coral.
