My name is Will and this is my reef excursion.
I have always been interested in reef tanks ever since I was a young boy, seeing them in doctor offices, ect. The colors were beyond the eyes imagination as if each piece was a delectable piece of candy.
With that said I was hooked on getting a saltwater tank setup. About 2 1/2 years ago my wife suprised me with a 90 gallon tank that I would soon feel overwhelmed with the idea of plumbing, ect.
After about 6 months and a ton of mistakes it was now running and at least keeping fish alive. I threw money away purchasing low end equipment and pc lights for a while until I moved the tank 950 miles from Wisconsin to Atlanta.
After meeting a member of the Atlanta Reef Club I became very informed on there website with all the awsners I needed, and a great group of people always willing to lend a hand.
Within a year of moving I sold the 90 and upgraded to a 180 gallon reef tank from

The owner of Oceallc (TY) was a great person to work with always keeping in contact with me until it was done. Delivery came and went and soon the new reef tank was set up and running.
Ok so theres the equipment that makes it all run.
