At 130 gal I consider my tank to be medium size but there isn't a forum for that so hopefully people won't mind me posting here. ( if it's any consolation my total volume is about 250gal) Below are a few shots from my tank.

I feel a little disorientated looking at your pictures, but I think I finally got a handle on it! Amazing color!

I think this is one of the first BB tanks I have seen here. I would love to see some more pictures and hear about your philosophy on successful reef-keeping.

Welcome!

Thanks for the welcome. My tank isn't BB and the pictures were taken with the pumps off so a birds-eye view could be achieved from the reflection.
Here is a straight on FTS for you.

Hahaha...Nice tank! I would appreciate you sticking around RB for a while or at least check in from time to time. Would like to have another reefer to bounce stuff off of every once in awhile. What you say Snap?

Not sure what you mean. Are you referring to my refugium, skimmer or sump?
I know it's nothing much but it works great for nutrient export.

Thanks for the pics of your filtration system. What type of lighting are you using and is it retro or fixture?

His fuge looks like a display tank. That is a truly nice tank, you should be very proud of what you have accomplished. KEEP THE PICTURES COMING. And what is the livestock list of the tanks?

dfurbee - I sell and ship frags all across Canada but unfortunately I can't ship to the U.S.A. Thanks.


plecosword - it's actually a 130 gal but that was not provided in the profile set up as an option so 125 was the closest. Thanks
