Hello everyone from the north side of the state.

Hi, my name is stephen and i was guided here to this site through my good friend ashley(doc2981). just a quick run-down of me and my tank. i work at a psych ward up here......very interesting to say the least. my tank is a 210g display with mainly sps. i have a 80g melevs reef custom sump and a 60g melevs frag tank. the frag tank has a lot of sps frags and lps such as acans and chalices, along with some zoas/palys. equipment on system is:
alpha cone 250 skimmer, midwest aquatics denitrator, phosban reactor, mrc dual chamber calcium reactor with ph controller, 200mg/hr ozonizer with orp controller. for lighting over the 210 i have 2x250w phoenix 14k(hqi on the sides and mogul in the middle) along with 2x 160w 454 vho's for actinics run on icecap 660. halides are on lumateks. frag tank has an 8x54 tek light, fuge has a 6x14w(maybe 18w) NO t5 light.

Beautiful corals and tank. Especially love the frag tank!

[cbianco]

Nice tank!

How long has the tank been setup for?
How long have you been reefing for?

Christopher :)

[shaggy420]

thanks all.
tank has been setup since the end of feb/beginning of march. all the corals were moved over from my 90g, but i used new rock for the 210. i think this year makes number 3 for me in saltwater. i did brackish for several years before i moved to texas, then made the plunge into the endless money-sucking vortex we call reefing.

Welcome to Maast. :) Look forward to seeing your tank grow and look beautiful like so many others here on Maast. :)
