The Beast

[allenjj]

I have been keeping aquariums since I was 7, so thats now 50 plus years. The said my latest addition is a 450 gallon salt water display tank that operates with a 750 gallon system (nicknamed the Beast) as a mixed reef. In addition I have a 125 gallon agressive salt water fish tank and a 180 gallon that I am trying to decide what to do with. I am an active member of an upstate New York reef club and serve as the admin of their web site. Love showing off my tanks and always learning more about reefkeeping.

Those are coming, given I just set it up less than a year ago, replacing a 180 gallon. Figured I would walk folks thru my experience in getting it going.
