Let's talk about our tanks a little.
I would love to hear specs from all members on their tanks.
Size, dimensions, filtration, lighting, inhabitants (SPS, LPS, softies, etc.). I will start. Tank 1 - Size: 90 gallon, 40" X 24" X 22" Two built-in overflows 1" drains in each, 1/2" returns in each. Filtration: Custom acrylic (DIY) sump. 24"X 18" X 12" DIY Euro Reef skimmer. 8" diameter tubing and run by a Sedra 9000. Return pump is a Velocity T-4 (1200 GPH) T's off through a chiller from here to a 1/2" SeaSwirl. ReefTek calcium reactor is used for supplementing calcium/alkalinity. Lighting: 250 watt MH 20K XM bulb, 4 X 95 watt VHO (2 actinic, 2 aquasun) Extra circulation is provided by 2 MaxiJet 1200's, and a SEIO 820. This is a SPS dominated tank. Tank 2 - Size: 45 gallom, 24" X 24" X 18" One large overflow (triangle shape in one corner) with 1.5" drain. Custom acrylic (DIY) sump. 20" X 20" X 14" DIY Euro Reef skimmer. 6" diameter tubing run by a Sedra 5000. Return pump is around 600 GPH going through an OM squirt. Calcium/Alkalinity supplement is through a medical dosing pump dosing Kent CB part A&B. Lighting: Ocean Light 250 watt MH 20K AB bulb. This is Leathers and LPS.

Would like to but all of the tanks are down right now. 80g 30g and 20g. The 20g has sold and the other 2 are still up for grabs. I hope to set a bigger tank up when the house is finished.

Going to be mainly SPS with some LPS. Probably going to run OM 4-way on a Dart, but not sure yet. Still planning flow. I will probably set it up sometime in the beginning of Feb. if all goes well and I make up my mind on a few things. Waiting on a package from Hong-Kong for now
