~450 gallon reef setup
 
Well, this system has been almost a year in the making. Here is what I have and the progress so far.

I have a 220 gallon (72x30x24) and a 150 (48x24x30) that will be plumbed into a sump located in a small "fish room". The 220g will go along my back wall and the 150g will go behind my bar.

Equipment list:
Tanks:
220g (72x30x24) - Starphire front and sides, bean style overflow along back, eurobraced, back of tank painted black.
150g (48x24x30) - Starphire front, back, side, Herbie (or Durso) overflow, eurobraced.
Sump (60x30x18) - Divided into Skimmer, Refugium, Return

Other:
- x2 Pacific Sun Black Python 160w LED (for 150)
- ATI 10x80w Powermodule (for 220)
- Profilux 3 Ex (pH, ORP, Salinity, Temperature) - Auto top off
- Profilux 5 breeze fan
- Profilux 3SA doser
- x3 PAB powerbars
- Profilux LED touch screen (ordered should be in by end of May)
- Vertex Alpha Kone 300
- Water Blaster HY5000 (return for 150)
- Blueline HD40x (return for 220)

Hi,

Welcome, seems like you're going to be busy. Looking forward to seeing some pics. With that light I sense some nice SPS:wink:

Where in your home is all this going and what do you consider a 'small fish room' :smile:

I am not sure how to post photos on this site, so I am sorry that my photos have the AP signature on it. Maybe someone can direct me on how to upload via the CanReef site.

Welcome to Canreef. :D

Most use a pic host like Photobucket or others. Then just use the image code tag to post it here.
Same can be done with our gallery but not sure its working correct yet from the upgrades.
There are some posts on how to use the tags, etc. I just need to find them.

DAVE 04-16-2011 05:09 PM

Thanks for the reply.

I would normally use photo bucket, but for some reason work has blocked the site.

Drop box works well for me
