Hi Reef2Reef!
I've been a member for a bit, mostly just skimming the site. I figured it's time to make a thread about my tank. I'm from Toronto, so nowhere near an Ocean, and cold most of the year. My tank has been running about 16 months and has gone through quite a few changes along the way. I won't really detail much of the past in this first post, but here's the current setup:

Hardware:
-Mainland corner flo 120g (48x24x24) tank, single durso drain and return.
-Maxspect Razor R420R 320w light
-Maxspect Gyre XF150
-Sump is a custom Acrylic, 3 chambers (drain, return, fuge)
-Return pump is a Waveline DC-4000
-Skimmer - CADLights TIA-1220
-TurboTwist 6x UV
-Dual Canister Reactor (GFO / Carbon)
-400w Hydor heater (w/ a 200w backup)
-Hydor Smart Level ATO
-Apex Classic Controller with Lab Grade pH/temp probes
-Other
3L of Siporax in a filter bag.
Filter Floss in the first baffles of the sump (NO socks)
SWC 3 Channel Doser with AquaForest 1+2+3+ Balling (just got it, not set up yet)
80lbs of sand, about 100lbs of rock (i dunno, it's just a guess lol)​

Fish
-5 Chromis
-2 Ocellaris Clowns
-Foxface Rabbitfish
-Yellow Tang
-Longnose Hawkfish
-Two-spot Hogfish
-Red Fairy Anthias
-2 Green Mandarins
-Fairy Wrasse (not sure which kind)
-Powder Brown Tang
-Purple Firefish
-Rainfords / Court Jester Goby
-Tomini Tang
-Yellow Watchman Goby

Inverts
-2 Peppermint Shrimps
-2 Skunk Cleaner Shrimps
-2 Red Blood Shrimps
-Coral Banded Shrimp
-Tiger Pistol Shrimp
-3-4 Blue Legged Hermits
-Lots of Snails of all Kinds (little & big nessarius, turbo, astrea, etc)
-2 Strawberry Conch's
1 Emerald Crab living in the fuge

I have a whole bunch of different corals so I'll list them in a separate post later this weekend when Im not so tired from just coming home from work :) Though some of my favourites are my Monomyces, Walking Dendro, Orange Ball Sponge, Lobo, Mini-Scoly. Also like my crocea clam and BTA (which doesn't "bubble" lol.

When the tank first went up:

Thanks... although for the longest time i thought it was a gold rim (sold to me as one). but after comparing them on live aquaria i realized what it was (which is fine, i think pbt looks nicer)
