Jeff.:P:.

Is that an angel of some kind.
Nice SPS btw. I'm working on my first reef currently. A 55g mixed, 25g sump/fuge
430watts, asm g1 skimmer, 2 korlias, ect...man this hobby is expensive. I just need to finish
the plumbing and wiring.
I belong to www.bostonreefers.org without them I'd have another freshwater tank.

Congrats on your new reef tank and best of luck with it. Id be happy to help with any questions you may have along the way and yes it is a red sea regal angel.

Jeff.:P:.

Thanks! Nice angel. Whats your set-up?

Its a 90 gallon SPS dominated reef with some LPS...Mainly acan lords are the only lps i collect Im running 2X 250W pheonix 14K hqi's, 2x54w Power Chrome T5 actinics and 4 x 1W LED lunar lights. DIY auto top off, 30 gallon sump/fuge, DAS EX-1 skimmer, 40W UV, DIY PO4 fluidized bed reactor, DIY carbon fluidized bed reactor, 1/4 hp chiller, Mag 9.5 return pump, Gen X 1200gph driving all the filtration / chiller off of a DIY manifold. DIY fan hooked up to a a relay on a thermomstat to help with evaporative cooling. UHhhh and the list goes on hahah. I also plan to upgrade to a 6 foot tank when the fish get a bit bigger

Jeff.:P:.

Very nice. Are you running the UV 24/7? Or only with new fish/corals. And are you running a Calc. reactor or using a 2 part.

CraigL83

I use kalk in my top off water in the auto top off...The UV i run 24/7. I also have 2 peristalic dosing pumps that dose 2 part daily. I am in an apartment and ran out of real estate to fit a calcium reactor and CO2 setup.
