Hello all fellow reefers :rapture:
My name is Eric and I'm from Lake Elsinore.
I've had my tank for about 6 months now and been on this board for about 2 weeks. I have to say this hobby is quite addicting . I have been keeping koi fishes for the past 10 years and recently decided to venture into saltwater hobby.
My tank is 180 gal with 60 gal sump. Bought the empty tank from Craigslist and started from scratch. Running Marineland led plus some homemade led strips....not the best kind but that will do for now.
40 watt UV, Rio 3200 return pump, 2 Hydor 1400 circulation pumps, skimmer, miracle mud bed in sump. 1/3 hp chiller
below are some cell phone pics of my setup....sorry no fancy digital camera.

[BeanMachine]

cool, welcome. what leds are you supplementing with the Marinelands?

 

[ERIC1975]

Thanks guys!
yeah those marineland led came with the tank. The light intensity is good I think it's just spotty so I added some 10K white and blue led strips I got from ebay. I have a mix of everything. The lps seems to do pretty well....my hornet frags are growing like crazy...doubling their number every month....esp the blue hornets. The sps however is not doing as good. My large green monti is losing its color..now it's just white/light brown with a rim of green left.
Brian...for sure...I got some zoas colonies that I dont know the names of but look nice..those red/pink and dark purple center. I also got a large piece of meteor shower (about 2 by 8 inches) that I'd like to trade for something else.
