    Hello everyone.
    I've been back into reefing for about 2 years. I had a 29 gallon reef setup back in 1985, alot has changed since then. I have always had fish, but the reef bug bit me again. Here is the current setup, a 90 gallon mixed reef with a Marineland skimmer, 2 DE 150watt 14K MH and 4 54watt T-5s.

    Ahh one of my favorite bulbs. Well you have done a nice job of mixing the types of corals and the scape fits very well with the tank.
