TCMAS : Member Tanks : Glen GregersonMember Since...December 2006Screen Name on TCMASgogregersonBackground...I started keeping freshwater fish back in 1996 with a 10gal tank that was soon upgraded to a 29gal tank. I went through different phases, for a while I bred fancy guppies then stocked angles and then cichlids. It wasn’t until a friend gave me a 55gal tank in March of 2006 that I figured I should try saltwater now that I had a “Big” tank. So I to the fish store, without researching anything, trusted the “experts” to set me up right. I walked out with a 50lb bag of crushed coral, a Sea Clone 100 skimmer and a bag of salt. I did read enough to learn how to cycle a tank but was told just use tap water. It didn’t take me long to realize I had been totally miss led by the LFS.
My Current Tank...My current tank is a 150gal RR with a 40gal breeder sump/refugium. |

Water Flow...I get about 800gph from my return pump, after head pressure. The rest is supplied from three Tunze Nano 6025s and two 6045. This seems to be adequate for know but I think I still need more. |

Water Supply...A pump in a five-gallon reservoir next to the tank controlled by a JBJ ATO provides top-off water. The reservoir is fill by a float switch fed by my RO/DI unit in the basement. |
