Howdy yall,
My names Clint, Im the brother of one of your newer members ProfKhaos23. Ive been giving him guidance on his first reef, here's his build thread. Hes in Westminster, I live near Houston/Galveston in Texas. Im always pushing him to be active in MASC, I know my tanks wouldnt be what they are with out my local club MARSH. Since i have been reading yalls forums and discussing things with him, i figured i should do a formal introduction. 99% sure i wont be at any of the meeting LOL Although my wife and I were in town for ReefStock, which was amazing BTW. A little bit about me, Married for 9 years. Ive have kept just about every kind of tank you can imagine over the last 13 years including, FW plants, cichlids, brackish, FOWLR, reef. For a few years i managed the fish portion of a local pet shop, we specialized in exotic cichlids and reef setups. I eventually decided to go back to school and in May 2012 received my B.S in Marine Biology from Texas A&M. I currently have 2 reef setups, a 90 and a 125.
Heres a picture of my mixed reef 90:

My 125 is more of a project tank. It has BTA's, gorgonians, mangroves, etc. The macro algae that are growing include, sargassum, C. prolifera, halimeda, C. barbata, mermaids fans and brushes. The right side has a BlueGlow frag rack (i need to update the photos of it before i post them). This tank has a 55 gallon as refugium under it:

Equipment includes: SRO skimmers, refugiums, ATO, apex, dosing pumps, GFO/carbon reactors, (3) 150 watt MH, 24" aquactinics T5, 15" reefbrite xho LEDs, and reefbrite minimag moonlights.
I look forward to getting to know yall on this board, Im sure my brother will know yall better though.
