rgrcrain Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Hello all, My name is Roger. I've had a couple of saltwater tanks in the last 5 or 6 years and i've been a lurker and a member here for over a year. I kept telling people I wasn't going to introduce myself until I got a camera and had pics to show, so yesterday I went a grabbed a camera and here I am. Most of the sponsors in the area probably know my face even if they dont know my name, and in the last week i've had the opportunity to meet Grassi, Impur, Emerald525 and Tanktop74 and i'm looking forward to meeting more of you now that i'm out in the open. I'm a fan of the Zoa's and sps so i'm trying to grow them both in my tank. I've got dual 400w Halides on each end of the tank and 96 watts of T5 light in the center to kind of even out the color. Here's a pic with all the lights on. Heres one with just the T5. And here is probably my clearest picture yet. I havent quite got the hang of fixing the color's in the pictures just yet. Thanks for lookin' i'm going to go back to lurking for now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rgrcrain Posted June 8, 2010 Author Share Posted June 8, 2010 Getting highjacked was my pleasure. I've been trying to get into the original "Coral Mafia" for a long time. And thanks for practically forcing me to take my first acan, its doing great and i'll probably get hooked on those too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saltfinsax Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Now I put the face with the name. Have to say YOU NO GOOD DIRTY, hehe JK. Jim and I meet you at Issac's as well. Better watch hanging with them two girls. Anyways, Very nice tank and looks to be a 125? Same as mine if so. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen Shane's woodwork in his build thread! Truly awesome! Dave does great work! He built us a sump for the formerly known as "FOWLR" tank! It' in the thread below my signature. He does nice work with great quality acrylic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rgrcrain Posted July 25, 2011 Author Share Posted July 25, 2011 So after the mess with the flood in my Apt. and having to move and rearange everything I figured I would take a before and after picture. I am terrible with the camera settings (and the LED's aren't helping) so the pics are a little over-exposed but almost everything lived through the move. Before: After: And I got everything running through my controller and 1 plug using these cool powerstrips. The only issue I have now is that I can't stop looking at the tank instead of the the TV(laugh) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
