150g ....(some pictures)
In February I set up our "final" (yah right) tank...its a 5 foot 150 gallon. I got the tank, stand and cap from Mike at Hidden Reef.....well worth the wait!! The pump is a Sequence Dart, the skimmer is an H&S, lighting is 2x400w and 2xT5's plus LED's for moonlighting, and a 50g sump.
We have about 185 lbs of live rock, 20-30lbs of live rock rubble in the sump, and a deeper sand bed with different sizes of substrate.... we do plan on having mostly Zoos, SPS and acros once the tank is stable and mature..so for the time being we have some softies, LPS, zoos, "easy" SPS, and a gazillion mushrooms from the liverock! I have been asked why I didn't do a journal on this tank...to put it mildly I would totally suck on keeping it up to date....so here it is today (I also don't take the best pictures but....I must do other things well to compensate  !)Our only inhabitants other than a large clean up crew are; 2 Peppermint shrimp as there was some Aiptasia 1 sand sifting starfish 1 3" Naso Tang 1 African Flameback Angel 1 Trimma Goby 1 Neon Goby 1 Panda Goby (although they are so shy we have only seen it a couple of times) FTS (bear in mind I am NO photographer)  3 of the bunch  Zoo pics(can you tell I REALLY liike Zoos?!)

Very nice Sarah! It looks like it was worth the wait.
I'm looking forward to following along, I'm glad someone talked you into starting this thread......while I'm at it can I request a full room shot & inside cabinet shot?

THANKS everyone...I will try to update it as I go along... I'm glad that I finally started this.....
the softies are very cool to watch...but up for trades as I'd really like to start putting in more corals that will be there long term...I have enough softie tanks! The red/pink one behind the zoos is a Montipora Digitata "freebie" from Marie...no pics of it directly yet...it's not where I want it to be...just "resting" there so I can afix it once I don't bleach it or kill it! There are actually several freebies from Marie in the tank.....just waiting to be afixed once I don't kill them;several montipora digitata frags of green, red and a previous one from her that is brown with purple tips...don't know if it will make it as it was in one of the other tanks....a yellow cap frag, and a small birdsnest frag.... I have purchased a nice Bali Green Slimer colony that is waiting for me in Vancouver and I have a Leng Sy frag that will be fragged when I actually get to Vancouver.......I do wish I lived there sometimes! I'll post a picture of the room it's in and the sump tonight when I get home...that's if I can take a decent enough picture
