Default 300 Gallon Mixed Reef

Hey just thought I would start a tank journal for everyone here as I have been lurking around here for a while. My reefing started about 2 years ago when I purchased a used 100 gallon from some guy on kijiji. I had this tank for about a year and had some softies however due to the filtration ( fluval fx5) I did not do so well. durring the process I learned alot about reefkeeping and like most of us still learning.


My current setup was built by Jay and consists of about a 380 gallon flat back hex style tank and 60 gallon sump with fuge. I will post some pics when I get a chance.

Return Pump Red Dragon 12
Lighting 6' Vertex Lumina
4 MP40's 2 more comming for back wall
200 lbs Live rock
Skimmer SWC 250 s2
UV Filter
Bio Pellets in UF 20
Yellow tang
Hippo tang
Orange shoulder
Leathers
and about 15 colonies or good sized frags SPS
lots of other stuff too much to list right now pictures would help.

So far very happy with the setup which has been in progress for about a year, and running for about 5-6 months. Chances are I will be switching to the Zeovit system as I like the KZ product very much. so I will let you guys/girls know how it goes.

Thanks for all who looked and help me along the way I will try to post more when I have more time.

Pictures to come

PS im living on the same street as a famous reefer in calgary, so the water must be good here KIEN !!!!

I'll take a peak the next time I'm out for a run. I'll try to remember to wipe the drool off your window.

Welcome to Canreef (well, I see you're here since May but with a post count of 6 I think it would be rude not to say "Welcome" so .. yah .. "Welcome!").

Looking forward to the pictures.

Sorry for the dark pics but just thought I would throw a couple on here it does not do my tank justice in my opinion. Thanks for looking more pictures to come.
