Hello everyone. Ive been away for a while, but have returned. This time in the marine side. I recently picked up a 135g tank and metal stand for free. I resealed the tank, and started building a new stand for it. I picked the tank up on a Sunday morning and had to have it setup on the following Saturday. We were getting new carpet installed and was a good time to upgrade.:) I used all the equipment from my 75g to get things running. In the last week i upgraded the 20g sump to a 29g, and got the doors installed on the stand. I still need to get the canopy built and add another 175watt MH. Lighting will consist of three 20k 175watt bulbs with spider reflectors. For flow i have four Koralia's, two #4's, a #3 and a #2. The return pump is only about 400gph. I would like to upgrade to about 750-900gph. The skimmer is just a cheapy. I dont know which one i will pick yet.

Livestock consists of a yellow tang, regal tang, pair of occ. clowns, coral beauty angel, and a madarin goby. I have a small cleanup crew that needs there numbers increased badly. Corals are a little of everything with my showpiece being an 8" pink finger leather. Most of my corals are frags. Any way enough gabbing, you guys probly just want the pics anyways.:D
