I thought you were refering to the 72x18x28 150. They have one at the LFS I visit, so I thought that would be the most common one. I didnt even think youd be looking at a 30" wide tank That would be awesome, but you need bigger dreams girl Im dreaming of a 12x4x3 penninsula tank I do see your point about a 4' tank. I always said Id be happy with a 120 until I moved out of this house, but this 180 came to me for under $200. Lighjting is pretty hard to figure out in 6', where its a lot more standard at 4'. Quote:
I totally understand where you are coming from on a 4' tank.

New additions
So you guys have seen a couple of these corals in my last FTS but I thought I'd post a few pictures tonight of my newest corals. When I moved last year I lost my hammer and frogspawn and have really missed having them in the tank. So here's my newest additions:
Frogspawn (right after shipping): Close up of frogspawn: Torch Coral: Hammer Coral (I had a bit of die-off with shipping but I think it's doing better now): Couple of close-ups of hammer (I'd never seen a hammer quite like this one before):

They look great Danielle! Are you still getting all your corals online or did you find a place near your new house to get corals?

There isn't really anyone to get corals or saltwater-related items through locally, which makes it a bit difficult.

ok, this is probably a stupid question considering how many thousands upon thousands of pages this thread spans.....
but.... what is TBS? I did my fair share of searching but found nothing to help me, and everybody in this thread talks about it like its common knowledge thanks! ryan |

Ryan - TBS stands for Tampa Bay Saltwater which supplies, IMO, the best live rock. Richard is the owner and is an RC sponsor. You can get more info on their Sponsor page: http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/fo...s=&forumid=213

TBS sells "The Package." The Package includes aquacultured live rock, sand, and a clean-up crew. TBS ships all their rock, sand, etc in water so you have more life on your rock when it gets to your local airport for you to pick-up.

Oh man, this was a chore!! It's probably been a year since Brett and I posted so I had to do a ton of searching to find this thread again!!!! If y'all remember, we had been attempting to do a true Caribbean reef tank, which turned out to be almost impossible. So we compromised and decided to just go super slow and do a really pretty tank. Our TBS rock is still awesome with new sponges coming and going. We just discover that almost 3 years later, we still have some mithrax crabs in the tank!! We survived multiple battles with red slime algae, a couple of battles with green hair algae and intermittent bouts with brown algae. Our original condy is still the centerpiece of our tank and we still have our original cuke. We lost most of our tube corals during a power outage due to hurricane activities but not a lot of anything else. I'll have to post some new pictures soon. Hope all the "old TBS timers" are still doing well!!!
Sally and Brett

Our tank is also over two years old. We still have gorilla and mithrax crabs that show thems now and then. Our original condy is doing well and being taken care of by a maroon clown. Our original cuke is huge and continues to clean the sand bed. Our sponges are not as colorful as they were in the beginning, (mostly due to the fact that our rocks are now completely purple and that color overpowers just about everything!) but we still have quite a variety of sponges. We never did have a problem with aptaisia like some did, but we do have a huge, gorgeous one that appeared down in the refugium. Our pistol shrimp that came with the rock still crack away and never show more than their antennae and then only when they are doing their "spring cleaning".
We switched to t-5 lighting a few months ago and are really pleased with how it looks. Plus the way the t-5's are mounted on the top of the canopy gives us so much room for tank maintenense. There are days when I regret having gotten the 150 gal tank over a smaller one, mostly on the days I have to clean the glass way down by the sand! But then when it is all cleaned up and I sit back and admire it, I pity anyone who has something smaller than ours! LOL I'll post some pictures later today after the lights come up.

Tank looks awesome Wooglin!! Your tank was one, along with this thread, that inspired me to use TBS. What camera are you using?
