Well I have been a member on this forum for god only knows how long. And I can say that since I have been gone this place has had a major face lift. This is one of the best sites I have seen but there is a few things that I think needs to be fixed....sorry Matt
Anyway, I now have a 90 that is pretty tight but I was able to get my hands on a nice 180 drilled with Modern Series stand and canopy. I will not use the canopy because I will buy one from my LFS. I plan to use 3-250W 14K halides, two 160W VHO actinics, a 36" Ecosystems sump, two ER CS6-1 skimmers, two blueline 30HDX pumps from the sump and another on a closed loop w/seaswirl, a MRC dual chamber reactor, ARS RODI, maybe a kalk reactor and I think that is it.
Oh yeah, I will run a 1" sand bed of fine sand. I have about 150 lbs of rock and may add a few more pounds, depends on how it looks. I am going for two towers and an open clam lagoon in the center.
I decided to go with two ER skimmers because I can't fit a CS12-1 in my sump and I decided against one 6-1 & one 8-1 because I don't want the 8-1 to out compete the 6-1.
Any suggestions are always appreciated. I am including a picture of my tank as it sits now.
Mike
