That's right what was I thinking. I'm just so used to the BB's that I use that you can just simply attache a file. Okey here it is. If you have a problem running it let me know. It was designed for Win95/98 but works fine on my WinXP & Win2K box.

This a 3 months old tank as posted 5-07-03. What do you think guys ?
Move down here from the Northeast that's why it's young. Sold all my live stock there. The tonga rocks are dried for about 2 months.

BTW does anybody know how can I supplement the diet of my Lawnmower blenny ? He's getting a bit to big.

What Type and size of tank is that?

I am wondering because I am planning a 85 gallon hex right now, and have heard several opinions on lighting... yours looks to be about that size, and I was wondering what you are using?

Actually, we would all probably like to know what you are using (and not just lighting!)

Gorgeous tank, and welcome to Texas.

First I dont have a sump.

This is what I have:

1.) Custom Sealife fixture 1 250 watts 20K Hamilton metal halide w/ 2 32 watts PC actinics.

2.) 2 ReaSea hang-on Prism skimmer.

3.) 1 1/2 Seaswirl powered by a QuiteOne pump with an input comming from a Eheim surface extractor.

4.) 1/3 HP drop-in chiller. Temp maintained at 78 degree's.

5.) oh yeah it's only 44 gal.

6.) 2 gallon water change every 3 days.

7.) 1 Kold-Sterile water filter.

I drip kalk. about a drop a min., I use Aragomite power to mix my replacement water & top-off water everyday take less than a minute. Commecial supplements are only Seachem, Iodide, Reef complete & Reef Plus. That's about it.

I'll setup a 6' room divider reef tank when I get some free time to build my stand.

Very nice tank!
I just setup a 75gl "grow out" tank for my Xenia and I am looking at the exact same lighting setup. Is yours a pendant? that is what I would like to have....
