Our "April 1st" Member Showcase is none other than our very own mojoreef! What a great help he has been to many of us, and we appreciate all mojo has done! I hope you enjoy the thread, and learn a little more about him, that you may not have known. Mojo may learn a little about himself, too. MikeS had the opportunity to capture some wonderful images of this unique set-up, which you will find at the bottom of the write-up.
Tell us about yourself
I’m Mike O’Brien, aka mojoreef. That’s all you need to know.
How did you get involved in the saltwater hobby?
I heard chicks dig it.
Tell us about your tank
Well...it's really big, like 29 gallons...I had to set it up in the garage so the family wouldn't complain about the smell. I have a pro-biological, pro-environment approach to my tank. I have a DSB...I left the sand in the plastic bags, so I can remove the sandbed easily if it becomes problematic in the future. My LR consists of 50 lbs of recycled asphalt road surfacing. It was cheap, nice and dense (more bang for your buck IMO), and no harm done to the living reef. As for livestock, well, I'm still working on that one. I have several dead coral skeletons. I like them for two reasons, visual impact, and no actual living organisims were harmed in the making of my reef.
How did you become involved with Reef Frontiers?
Hmmmmmm..........
What is your reef keeping philosophy?
Low maintenance, no maintenance, its all good.
What is your dream tank?
I have this vision of a tank in the shape of an "L".
Do you have any advice for others?
Don’t be afraid to think outside the box. Lava lamps and disco balls are the next “in†thing for reef tanks.
