About our Reef Tank
My name is Devon and I live in Missoula, Montana. I’ve been keeping saltwater tanks for around 7 years. My better half, Shelby, has been there all along the way helping me attain my degree from Bend Over University.
Currently we have a 270 gallon reef display tank that’s been up for a little over 3.5 years. Under the display is a 40 gallon sump, 1/3 hp chiller, 2 – Mag Drive 24s (returns), Mag Drive 18 (refugium) and a Reef Octopus 6″ Recirculating Skimmer (DDNW-150-6530B), previously a Prizm Pro Skimmer. To the right of my display tank is a 90 gallon refugium with a deep sand bed. I grow a bunch of Chaetomorpha macro algae in the fuge for nutrient export.
For lighting I run a Current 3X150W MH w/ LEDS & 3 – 2′ 96W T5 Tek lights on the display & a 4′ 324W T5 Tek light on the refuge.
Hope you enjoy my blog posts (right column)!
The photo below was taken about 3 years after my header image (top of page). The tank has changed a bit since then!

Devon, Thanks for stopping by my blog and “liking” my Jellyfish post. My you and Shelby have an impressive reef tank. Truly amazing and awesome.
Cheers!
nice aquarium. Does it take a lot of work to maintain it?
Thanks, I think you get out of them what you put into them. I’ve tried to automate most of the tedious processes thought.
