    Not one but TWO chillers with what looks to be at least 1 1/4" piping! Just curious, what is your electric bill?? Not to mention the two almost pool size pumps.

    I guess with all those tangs you need 6 uv lights. I got one of the same on a 265. Makes me wonder if I'm under doin it. LOL, Your tank looks familiar, like I remember seeing a live feed thread somewhere.

    Hey Bob, what's the advantage of using a UV light? I'm building a 90gal now. Should I add one, how big, & what make? BTW, my sump/fuge is 40gal.

    Very impressive setup.

    I seem to remember you having a webcam on this thing. Still running it.

    50JC-- If you like big tanks, make the drive up to Richmond, VA. There are 3 LFS here that all have huge tanks. One has a 1200, another has a beautiful 800, and my favorite has a breathtaking 1200 and a 900. PM me if you would like addresses or web sites.
