    Just wanted to say Hello to fellow reefers.





    My Name is Adam and recently I have became addicted to the Saltwater hobby. (about a 1.5 yrs)





    I currently have a mixed reef 92 gallon corner tank





    and a fish station that houses 29 gal salt mix tank,


    20gal long QT tank


    and 30 gallon sump





    Am planning on snaping some new photos tonight.
