Hey guys...new to this forum but been in the hobby in many different facets for over 20 years. I guess I should have started with the "meet & greet" section, but figured I'd just jump straight into some pics of my tanks...that's what everyone cares about anyway, LOL!
This is my main display. I've done the SPS thing in the past and frankly got bored with the "static" look. Don't get me wrong there are plenty of great SPS tanks and I still grow SPS in my prop systems, but I just prefer the movement of softies and LPS in a tank with lots of random flow, so this tank was setup to house only LPS and softies. It's a 125 (that's the largest tank that would reasonably fit there) plumbed to a large sump in the basement that is directly behind and a 1/2 level below. Flow is via a closed loop. Filtration is very basic...an ATS, remote sand bed in the sump and about 100lbs more live rock in the sump.
Moving on here is my latest project. Having been in the hobby for a very long time I've had a lot of different tanks...so I wanted a new challenge. I decided to convert the 10g SPS nano on my desk to an NPS/Azoox tank. Due to the low light an lots of flow it's hard to get a photo that is not blurry, so I'll use this little video instead. It's still a work in progress, but it's been a fun new adventure thus far.

Lastly we run a small coral/invert business so here is a look at some of our raceway setups for propagation tanks and holding tanks.
