    This is a tank i set up about 6-7 months ago at the place i work. Its in the lobby and is a 215 gallon oceanic tank with cherry canopy and stand. It has 8 36" overdriven t5s and a 40 gallon sump with a bubble king mini 200 skimmer, 2 - tlf 150 phosban reactors, a 15 watt uv sterilizer (dont believe its doing much anymore..bulb is dead) one tunze 6055 with a single controller, 1 vortech mp40, and 2 tunze 6065s for flow. Prolly has around 175lbs of live lock and about 150lbs of sand.

    The owner of the company i work for loves marine tanks and has them at work, his house and a couple of his family members houses that he also owns. Last september he asked me to look at his tank at his house to try and improve it cause we talked and he knew that i had a tank myself. After i redid the filtration at his house the guy who took care of the tanks quit so he asked me if i would take care of his tanks...so i took the job. 3 tanks are saltwater and 2 are freshwater, i take care of em on the weekends. I will take pictures of his 375 gallon i take care of that started all of this weekend to show everyone better pictures now that i have a nice camera. Its hard, at first i thought all right easy money...and at times it is but the hard times more than make up for the easy days. I poured nearly all the cash i earned from doing this for a year into a setup for me. lol I ordered a 250 marineland deep dimension ill be setting up hopefully within a month.
