    Love it. Thanks for the thread and pics. 8)
    How do you get a 280g system from a 90g display and 100g sump though?

    I have a serious sps addiction and i don't like little frags hanging around the display. ha

    Ahh. Now it adds up. And, yes, I'd say you are serious! :)
    Do you have a calcium reactor?

    Wow. I really mean it when I say, your tank is one of my favorites I've ever seen on 3reef. I love big shallow tanks like yours. I mean.. Thats what reefs in the ocean actuallyyy look like haha. It really brings back some memories.

    I probably should run a calcium reactor but i've just always been a fan of 2 part so the system runs on BRS 3part dosed throughout the lights out period to help maintain stable pH in the dark.


    Wow, thank you, i really appreciate it. Thats exactly what i was going for with this setup, I wanted it to look as natural as possible and i am obsessed with viewing my corals from above so this is working out perfect. ;D

    What kind of doser?
    Love this tank. I had a tru-vu show tank - what is your trick to not scraping it?
