I'm all for the mini-split A/C (I have one after-all) but that unit you showed is pretty pricey. I got mine from www.genieac.com . Don't know if you ordered yours yet but you might check them out and you may be able to save some coin. Keep the pic coming.

No new pics yet-sorry. I found a source for 2 of the titan bins for $250 each used, in Cali, but still undecided about the sumps. Once a decision is made, I'll be on to plumbing -

Change in plans- the 150g has become a frag tank seperate from the display system. It is run by a seq. Dart and I put a euroreef rc135 skimmer on it with some left over 400w mh/power compact fixtures for lighting. The fuge is gonna be underneath the tank as soon as the sump containers are decided on. The split a/c system is in place and ready for hook up. My electrician is gonna add a 100 amp sub-panel in the fish room for extra juice-pics coming soon-

SO THE 700 IS STILL IN THE MIX BUT IT IS AT THIS TIME MIXING PUKANI AND REEF CERAMICS-LOL. THE REEF ROOM HAS BEEN HOLDING 70-73 DEGREES THROUGHOUT THE SUMMER AND THE TANK WATER IS SITTING AT 72-73. SO FAR I HAVE A HAMMERHEAD-TWO DARTS-THE SKIMMER -ONE SEIO AND ONE WAVE BOX RUNNING INSIDE THE TANK .THE HAMMERHEAD IS PUSHING TWO WAVEYSEA PLUS AND I AM LIKING THE RESULTS. I DID GET THE TUNZE ATTACHMENT BUT WE SHALL SEE HOW THAT PLAYS OUT. I DID ADD A DEHUMIDIFIER IN THE ROOM AND IT IS WORKING GREAT.MY BABY UNICORN TANG IS THE ONLY RESIDENT SO FAR AND I AM STILL DEBATING ABOUT HIM, I HAVE LARGE BLONDE NASO WAITING IN THE 450 ALSO-HUNG THE LIGHT RAILS BUT I AM IN THE PROCESS OF BUILDING A LIGHT RACK-

jnarowe-the decision on the vats took
a little time but I am glad I went with them also -there's alot of room to play with. Fluid reactor is on the way- went with a deltec see here- http://www.deltecusa.us/fluidizedreactors/fr1016.php Any experience with the Deltec calc reactors out there? |

Fish look great. I am still debating the whole vlamingi question. I would caution you about having too much rock in the tank. It's hard to tell but it appears that you have rock almost to the water surface. I am not entirely sure what your tank goals are, but many of the "advanced" reefers I have discussed this with have removed or are planning to remove a good portion of their rock.
The issue is that when you have a large amount of rock in yor tank, there is no room for corals to grow, and you greatly reduce water volume. In a FOWLR or soft coral dominated tank, that rock scheme would be OK, but for an SPS tank, you will get crowded fast. I think it looks nice the way it is aquascaped right now, and that design would lend itself well to a school of small fish that like to dart in and out of the rock work. It's always a matter of opinion and philosophy of course!

Ahh Jnarowe my man-I love your honesty. I agree
that there seems to be alot of rock in the tank and I have been fighting with myself on removing some or not. Keeping in mind that I will have 2 waveboxes and 2 to 4 tunzes, the rock hides some of that, but I do think that the open look is real nice and maybe I should remove a few chunks. The good part is that the rocks are big pcs. and in theory should have less avalanche's-honesty is always appreciated on this thread guys-thanks!!! Mg21 and Alphabet-thanks a ton and Waxxie-MarineCenter.com is where I got my vats |

Joe - Looks like it's finally coming together. I agree about the rock. You might want to take some of that out. You can't even see the Reef Ceramics...
Let me know if you have extra, I might buy it off you for the 350, if it ever gets set up. How does that rock look? Mike |

Mike let me know when your ready, I
will have a few cured and alot of dry pcs available, the rock is nice imo-I really like the tabling/shelf type pcs as you can see- |
