Mark's 180 Starfire upgrade

got ya:))

Any plans of switching to LEDs?

Why? I think I the tank is working out fine the way it is. I just can't justify spending any money toward my tank anymore. I'd rather save the money and fly to Liverpool to watch a few matches :beer:
 
Sweet tank. I was at a LFS in Maryland and they had a coral marked "Poletti blue montipora." It is an encrusting type with a blue base and bluish/purpleish polyps. Was wondering if you have any pictures of this coral in your tank? I don't think I could ever catch up to reading this entire thread.

I'm sure if it was in Maryland, it was Paletta, not Poletti. Sorry.
 
Thanks Dan, how's life? Are you all settled in from the move now?

Finally moved in last week and living out of boxes. Had some issues with contractors meeting their deadlines (who hasn't) so in but no where near settled. The display is in the house and on its stand but that's about it. The corals have taken a beating (at least what's left) and I've lost a few fish :(

Your tank is still freaking amazing man...
 
I hear you:))

well, LEds--save electric bill:)

I didnt know you into soccer:)

They might save on the electric bill a wee bit, but the initial start up cost to light my tank would cost more than I'd care to invest. My wife and I have had serious discussions about what it would be like to have a quiet house again. When those talks are on taking place, there is no reason to change things up.

Yep, I'm a footie junkie!!!

Thanks Dan, losses are part of this hobby. Everything we buy in this hobby will die one day. It took my 4 year old to explain that this was part of life before I started to really realize my insanity.

Good luck setting it back up. I enjoyed tearing mine down and rebuilding it back.
 
Thank you Tahir and congrats. I was just thinking about you and your family the other day. I hope all well.

I can't wait for the derby tomorrow! :deadhorse1:

Cheers! :beer:

Mark, the tank is looking great! What lighting are you running these days? Also what all are you running for flow?

Thanks. The tank is pretty much unchanged over the last 18 months. I'm still running 250 watt radium, Vhos' and my LED strip for lighting and the 2 MP40's, 2 6150's and 2 6055's for flow.

Cheers!

What ballast and reflectors are you running for your radiums?
