My 180g

[tdgates]

I'm kinda new to this forum. I've got tons of info but really never posted. Thought I would start by showing my 180g AGA tank. It's pretty small compared to most of the tanks here, but until I get a larger house, this is going to have to work.

Some info on the tank: I set it up in fall of 2007. I started the hobby with a 55g reef and realized that it gets full real quick. I have the tank on my main floor with all the equipment in my basement. I have a 50g sump and a 20g refugium. I run carbon and uv 24/7 and my skimmer is a MSX250. I do bi-weekly water changes of about 15-20 gallons.

So, enough talk, here are some photos.

All your inhabitants look great. I'm in love with your torch corals.
And your rose anemone, Wow.
Lovely tank.

Tyler, what lighting are you using?

 

[tdgates]

My lighting is a coralife 72", 3x 150w de bulbs with four 96w pc. The halides are 12k reeflux and the pc's are current duel actinics. I love the color but wish I would have gotton the 250's. I just replaced the pc, due to the crazy price I'm going to retrofit some T5's in next time around.

Thanks for the comments also.

looks great, I am planning to put a school of anthias in my 180 that I am working on now.

I have 9 Threadfin Anthias in there with 1 male and 8 females! I love them.
