    Hi Chad,

    Tank looks great, tons of coralline.

    How many gallons, lighting type, and anything else you would like to add regarding your system.

    Thanks Coraline my tank is a Marine Land 60 cube 24x24x24 with center over flow. I am running a T5 Mh combo that I put togeather running 4 ati blue plus bulbs and a phoniex 14k 250watt bulb for lighting. I run a reef octopus nwb110 skimmer with a 15 gallon sump mag 5 return pump an mp40 for circulation. I also have an apex that controls every thing. I have mostly softies mixed with lps and two acro frags lol very small bio load a green chromis a pair of onyx clowns and a bartlett anthias. I am going to try full spectrum leds to see how they do soon.

    Ahh I was just going to say that I love the Phoenix. LOL another going to LED.

    Would love to see a pair of the Onyx if they will hold still.

    It will be interesting to see what you think of the lighting change.

    Yeah I am going to hold on to my old lights just incase. I will try and get a picture of them lol. My fixture I have now is a odyessa that was given to me the housing is nice but I replaced everything internal I have about $200 in it replaced the t5 reflectors with tek reflectors put two ati sun power 24 watt ballast all rewired got an ice cap ballast for the MH and I used a giesemann reflector for the MH. The only thing that is orginal is the housing and the led moon lights.

    Looks really nice cj. More pics would be great! I always love seeing pics of tanks that are healthy and diverse, it keeps me inspired :) as well as gives good ideas and such...not that I would plagiarize someone's tank - well, yes, I guess I would ;)
