Hey guys here's my sps tank from San Diego!

I switched from a DIY 6bulb fixture to 250w Radiums + 2x Panaroma Leds to Sunpower 6bulb ATI fixture and found that this setup was the best by all.

Equipment :
3x Vortech MP10
2x BRS 1.1 ML dosers
Sunpower 6bulb ATI fixture
Quietone3000 Return pump
15x15x15 frag tank ( in the works lights should be arriving shortly)
Bubble Magus 7 Skimmer
Apex Jr/EB8/PM1
I love the Apex because wherever you go you can spy on your tank

Looks good!

Corals look happy.:)

Man you really go through the light fixtures.

How long has your tank been up and going?

Thanks for the compliment the tank has been setup since August of last year and in december i moved to a new house.

Yes i was experiencing with new lights and found that t5 was the best choice lol
 
Nice tank. Just wondering, how wide does that door swing? Hate to see someone open the door wildly and seeing that door knob crack that tank...
 
The water jug stops the door, but that door leads to the balcony! I would hate to upgrade so soon if that happened.... :)


On a side note I ordered zeovit pohls xtra special- does anyone have any experience with this?, coral virtualizer, and AA
 
So i purchased one of these rocks from Ceram Eco the price was at 26 bucks, i bought the 2 day shipping which was more then the rock itself, everything came out to be 60 dollars. i believe this should be a nice add to place with all the new frags i got..

i just read the Faqs and it says just rinse and add to display, sounds like this is the way to go!

Well heres my April Update, After finding out i had Black Bugs it really bugged me, after going from one acro to another i decided to take matters into my own hands, i bought some Interceptor Spectrum, Dosed it and after the first treatment i saw great improvement, after dosing the second treatment i did not see any. im contemplating for doing the 3rd treatment. Everything is well, and i got back on my schedule of dosing ZEO products. Ill let the pictures do the work.
