great looking set up pal, have you got a build thread anywhere.:thumbsup:
Here is one of my tank and a picture of an acropora I've bought over the weekend but have never seen before, if someone knows the name...?
I know that I can't play with the big ones on this forum, but I'm happy considering this is the result after 1 year, picture is taken under T5:

That is just amazing.. And that clam is HUGE!!!
I wish this was more clear, but here's a video of my 300 g sps tank..
Super nice tank ReefMutt! Too bad the video is low res. I looked at some of the pictures of your colonies and they look great.

NICE TANK MUTT! Care to share your tank specs?
Also what salt do you use? I'm currently doing my homework on salt mixes...

Thanks for the positive comments:fun2:
pterfloth- I know the quality is lousy, its a canon d10 point and shoot which takes a decent video, but once it gets uploaded to photobucket, the quality is lost. I don't know how to get a better quality video up...
The underwater filming is cool, though- again, sorry about the quality:
Thanks, glaukos, you can't beat inspirational- i appreciate the comment!
Thanks henrystyle! I'd love to talk specs!
the tank is 60 in by 42 in deep by 28 high- in wall and built in place. Before I tell you what I use, keep in mind that I sell most of these products in Canada, although, I must say I do think they are all great quality.
I have 6x Giesemann 5 ft pure actinic t5 and 3 x giesemann 5ft actinic plus.
Then, in the front row i have 3x250w de giesemann coral bulbs and behind them i have a row of 3x150w de coral bulbs. And in between the mh fixtures I have 4x 70 w de Giesemann blue mh bulbs.
I have 4 controlled Tunze streams and a Dart gold as a closed loop with the output split between two wavy seas. I also have another large tunze stream on another wavy sea. I love randomized flow..the return from my sump is by a Tunze master recirculater which is also on a wavy sea, so I have a wavy sea in each corner pushing water all over.
I run a Deltec PF 1001 ca reactor and a deltec AP902 skimmer.
The tank is 300 gallons and my sumps (3) have a capacity of 200 gallons.
I have used D-D H2Ocean pro salt from day one (1.5 years for this tank) and like it very much.
I also use Polyp Lab's Reefresh kit for carbon/bacteria/amino dosing.
The tank is basically 1.5 years old but last Christmas (last year) I had to tear down the tank to deal with aefws and red bugs. I lost a huge amount of corals in qt and only put the tank back together last March.
It is only now starting to show great health and growth...

Thats a hell of a lot of light and flow in there. Love the tank dimensions. You can do alot with that 42"w. A wavy sea is like a controllable sea swirl???.
Thanks....Whats your water parameters?

here's a fts unfortunately, I couldn't clear it up. Sometimes the tank is perfectly clear and sometimes the currents stir it up..
Henrystyle, the wavy sea is almost exactly like a controllable sea swirl. It is more compact though. You can control it for speed and angle of rotation. It will do anything from 360 down to almost stationary.. I think they went under and now there is another company making the same device..
calc, alk mag and ph are 400-420, 7-8dkh, ~1300, 7.8-8 respectively
