    Thanks but to be honest, most of it was luck. I bought many of the corals years ago as brown out frags so I really never know what I'm getting.

    Thanks.

    Although I do own a state of the art Teco TR20 Chiller with built in UV sterilizer and heater, it has remained in the box. My temps are maintained by a single Vornado clip on fan. It is able to keep tems stable between 77-79 in the winter and 78-80 in the summer.

    Equipment:
    supplemental circulation: 4 Tunze 6105 Stream pumps w/ 7096 controller
    return pumps: 2 Tunze 1073.20 pumps
    calcium reactor: AquaC RX-2 (only gets CO2 from noon to midnight)
    skimmer: Warner Marine MF-251
    supplemental biological filtration: 1.5L Warner Marine Ecobak in Precision Marine 24" tall media reactor
    computer controls: Neptune Systems Aquacontroller 2

    Lighting:
    3 - 400w Radium 20K in SLS LumenMax Elite reflectors, SLS Galaxy Ballast

    Supplemental Lighting:
    2 - 100w Ecoxotic Cannon 455nm

    Moon light:
    The little moonlight built into the Tunze 7096 controller. At most it is a single 0.5w white LED. I don't really beleive moonlights benefit a tank.

    Food:
    Reef Nutrition's: Mysis Feast, Roti Feast, Oyster Feast, Beta Brine
    AP Breed dry pellets in Eheim auto feeder

    Dosing:
    Warner Marine Ultimate Aminos
    Warner Marine Vitamin/HUFA
    KZ Zeovit Pohls Xtra
    KZ Zeovit Coral Vitalizer
    KZ Zeovit Coral Booster

    Salt: Red Sea Coral Pro and Instant Ocean. If I can get the Redsea on sale, I prefer it. I have no problem switching salt brands as the calcium reactor handles the majority of the parameters.

    Any other questions, let me know.
