Hello all. My name is Mike and I have a reefing problem.

This is my current tank which is an older AGA 120 w/corner overflows. The reason I decided on this tank is I really hate the overflows on the back and it seems to take up quite a bit of room. I had my rockscape done and how I wanted it before I even set this thing up. Plus my SPS addiction helped with the most current scape which was changed slightly from the original layout.

Right now the basics are:

Return pump: Reeflo Blackfin 6000
Reactors: 2x TLF 150s with GFO and Carbon
Skimmers: Coralife 125 and a Bashsea 6x24 Blu-demon (going to go bigger soon)
Lights: 2x Lumenmax 3 w/250w DE Phoenix 14k (changing out to a certain ebay bulb with better color and PAR)
Flow: 1 MP40WES, 1 MP10WES, Korlia 1400

The tank in it's most current form is mostly SPS, some LPS, not much on the softies, no nems since my last 3 got ground up by the powerheads

The only 2 problems I have ever had was a slight copper mishap which was resolved in about a month and didn't lose much and a terrible dino problem which lasted more than a year and was cleared up within the last 3 months.

On to the pics:

This is the most current FTS I have


This is the way it first started out:


And a random LED project that never took off. This is a 50w multichip that was suppose to be 20k but look a bit yellow so that project was scrapped



Basement sump
An older picture still using the MAG12 I had




Onto the corals:

One of my favorite frags right now. Still no name for it


Red planet frag next to a green planet


Pink tipped sarmentosa I think but the picture is all washed out and didnt capture the color well


Run of the mill tri-color mariculture


Blue tenuis, green mille and on the left not sure (picture washed out again)


Green something or another, forgot the name


Candy canes and dendros


Monti


Pretty neat acan


Bought this monti as a small 1x1 frag a year ago


Resurrected Blasto that made a full recovery




Another cool acan


Thats about it for now. Ill make another post with all my soon to be future adds and things that never made the cut...idea wise.

I'll have to find the link again for the bulb. I deleted it off my favorites.

A few locals have had great sucess with the bulb hence my willing to try it out. I really hate the Phoenix, too white and poor coloring.

Finally had enough time to find some pics of my frag tank

50 gallon poly tank
2x 3/4 feed
2x 1.5" into 1 return with maggie mufflers ( I must admit I cant hear anything, going to put them on the DT upstairs)
1x 250w DE halide with an older CoralVue 20k bulb

These pics were taken just after I started transferring corals into it, quite a bit more packed now with more on the way
