Hey reefers! Im new to the forum in the Portland OR area, been keeping reefs for almost 2 years now. it started when I was working at all things aquarium in willsonville, (just cleaning the freshwater tanks) the owner Arron got me into the salty game. I had to leave due to vehicle problems, loved working at that shop, and miss it every day lol 

I have 2 reefs at the moment, the oldest a 10 gallon tank filled with softies, a pistol shrimp goby pair and a clownfish, and my newer tank is a Waterbox Marine 45.2 with some zoa's, LPS and a bubble tip anemone. 2 clowns, tail spot Blenny, Royal Gramma and Mandarin Dragonet. I can post separate threads of my tanks if y'all would like to see, although nothing special lol. 

Love to talk anything fish with people, glad to join this community

This is my 10 gallon soft coral only aquarium, it's almost 2 years old in May. It runs on simple equipment,

Seachem tidal 55 HOB filter. 50 watt heater with a dual control inkbird, for the summer I run small fans with the inkbird to keep evap cooling. Auto aqua smart ATO. Aqua Illumination Nero 3 running on a custom schedule. Last but not least my budget LED light from Amazon, NICREW Marine strip light. 

Oh and I'm using my glorious Portland 13 TDS tap water with just a sedimentary filter and 2 high capacity carbon blocks, no RO or DI stages
