[tyler]

seeing how there is little to no action going on in here, i thought i'd post a thread about my tank to jazz things up a bit.

specs as of right now:

125g oceanic nature's view
~20g rubbermade sump
languna pondmaster 7000 return pump
2 modified amiracle hang on overflows
turboflotor t1000 protein skimmer
2x250 iwasaki ran on mercury vapor ballasts in a diy canopy
~70 lbs of liverock
~150-200 lbs of a mixture of southdown and purearagonite sand

livestock:

fish:
4" porcupine puffer
1" yellow tail damsel

inverts:
1 peppermint shrimp
a handfull of zebra leg hermits
8 or so astrea snails
bunches of smaller snails

corals:
assorted mushrooms
green star polyps

1 unidentified polyp

future plans:

actinic to balance out the iwasakis
refugium
clean up the sump area
moonlighting
more rock - either live or dead, just more
more fish - thinking a six line, perhaps a longnose butterfly, who knows what else
more coral - probably just a bunch of easy crap like xenia, leathers, some lps, ricordias and zoos (maybe some montis someday)

and that's about it

special thanks go to uryy4me, latazyo, despot101, scsuboy, lilswanswillow, phillip, lunchbucket, the RRVAC, the folks at the TCMAS forum, the Greater Minn Forum guys, and K9 Country Club
