The tank is an All Glass 135 gal. I use 2 sumps that are supplied water from an overflow box, that I designed to handle 3 1" siphon tubes. On the left side water is returned by a Little Giant 5MD that pushes water through a Rainbow 9" cannister filter, and a Aquanetics 1/3 HP chiller, and into the tank with a 1" Sea Swirl. The right side is fed by an Iwaki WMD 40 RLT that pushes water through an Aqua 15 watt UV sterilizer, and out a 3/4" Sea swirl into the tank. That side is the side that I have my protein skimmer and ozone reactor hooked up on. They are an MTC 60 " dual venturi, and a MTC ozone reactor followed by a carbon fillter. I use the acrylic boxes inside the tank to hide my powerheads and to secure them to the side. I had an experince where my powerheads slid off the side of the tank to the bottom during the night. I woke to the mother of all sand storms, I had nearly a 12" sand bed on one side. The tank has been up since May of 95' and I hav'nt had one problem, HA HA I wish! Lighting is by 3 400 watt Blueline 10000K, and 4 140 watt Actinics. As far as species, I have kind of a mixed bag soft LPS SPS. I hav'nt really compiled any sort of list of them. To busy doing the things just to keep them alive, you know what I mean.
