    hi. Doug here from Paoli, Pa.
    i'm in the construction field, and my tank is a 5', 195 gallon in wall display, and it's 300 gallons total volume.
    halides in lumenarc mini's and T-5 actinic suppliment over the display, an ASM G4X in the sump, as well as a large refugium.
    i also have a 60ish gallon TV frag system as well, which has a nova extreme pro over it, and utilizes a sump with live rock, and a euro-reef cs6-1.

    ;D

    i guess i should add that the ballasts are sunlight supply galaxy, and the lamps are hamilton 14k's (250 watters x 3) 4 x 54 watt T-5 UVL actinics, and i also have a reeflo dart underneath with an oceans motions 4 way for the closed loop.

    the return for the big tank is a mag24 and a mag7 return for the frag system.

    the big tank is only about 7 months old. i transferred alot of the inhabitants and rock from my old 125, and within the last month, set up the frag system.
    thanks for the welcome!
