Introduction
I'm a female reef keeper who lives in Essex County, NJ. I started in the hobby with a 34 gallon Solana in April 2011. I upgraded to a 90 gallon perfecto tank in August 2012. I enjoy reading, traveling, watching movies, doting on my family, and tending to my reef!
Filtration
My tank has 110 pounds of live rock. In addition, I have a Reef Octopus Diablo skimmer. I also run RowaPhos, and I grow chaeto in my sump.

I perform a weekly 20% water change. I change my filter sock on a weekly basis. I also clean the glass with a magnet cleaner twice a week. I change my Rowaphos every 4 weeks.
On average you perform a 20% water change every 10 days.

Inspiration & Goals
I'd like to fill my tank with fish and coral that I find most interesting. My goal is to be able to maintain stable tank parameters over the long term. Once I do, I'll spbe able to add my first acropora coral. I'm really looking forward to it!
