HI, MY NAME IS BLAINE, AND I'M A REEF JUNKY
OK so here I am. A Junky. I am constantly looking for a new fix. Acro’s monties, what ever I can find that look gooooood, and always zoooooos. Started out with FW at 8 yrs. Old. Ya know, “Fancy Guppies” and all. Later got married. First purchase was a 55 gal (that we still have) but no longer setup Hmmmm another project, after the 72 bow front.
Ok catching up to more current time. 1st salt tank was a 220 reef/fish. 5, 400w MH ECT. I all ready had a cichlid tank, 110 tall glass, Now a reef/ fish, and a 150 FW planted, then converted to a sw, then sprung a leek, and it was history , not an easy loss.
Had a 700 gal frag system setup in the garage for a couple of years. Not enough time to devote to it. So down it went. Took apart, not crash.
So currenty,110g SW r/f 2 400w XM15k, 2 VHO atinic skimmer, ca reactor, fuge. Next 160 sw f/r 3 400w xm 15k 2 vho actinic, 2 vho 10k PC skimmer , ca reactor, 72 gal bow front next. Anyway, wife and I live in Salem. She loves,,, well, really likes the tanks, when I’m not messing in them and leaving stuff all over. I mean really, a couple of rags, and I can get that cleaned up! It’s getting harder to sneek more “stuff” in the door. I do ALL work, from feeding to poooo removal and all in between.
We have 4 dogs and a large koi pond. 4 grown kids and 2 grandkids.
I’m looking forward to meeting other Reefers. I will say that I don’t pretend to know all the names of my corals or fish, just the ones that our beautifull grandkids and us give em.
