for those who missed the meeting, i snapped some quick pics of my tanks.

here's the 30 cube anemone tank. it's lit by a 175w 20K XM. it's plumbed into my main system through the crawlspace. there is a pair of maroons and a yellowtail damsel in here. it's only been setup for a few weeks which is why it's so clean. the fish, anemone and green brain had been in a 20hex for several years prior.

here's my 'main' 50 gallon display tank. it would be bigger if my floors were stronger. it's lit by 2 250w DE 14.5K giesemanns and 2 t-5s, a blueplus and an actinic. i just rebuilt it from scratch the day before the meeting and haven't moved any fish or the bulk of the corals back in. i'm not too happy with the rock stacking, i'll probably restack it a few times before i do move stuff back in.

this is a 30 breeder frag tank lit by a 250w 10K AB (old and turning yellow, though not as yellow as the pic shows). many of my corals and all the fish from the 50 are in here for the moment. this is also plumbed into my main sump.

not shown is a 40 breeder sump under the 50 display. half is dedicated as a fuge, the other has my return pump and a turboflotor. i also have a geo calcium reactor and dose kalk with a dosing pump (to keep the pH up).

I like the Sesame Street wallpaper. It adds that perfect finishing touch.
