I actually dont have one set up yet but I thought it was a funny name. I have a hard time making up my mind so I would like to see your reef tanks. I dont care what kind mixed softies sps what ever please just show me what you got and give a breif discription of your setup. I appreciate it and also I think it will be a fun thread and dont be shy if your tank isn't all it can be I would like to see it as well.

I wanted to correct this a little show me what ever you got even if its not a reef Fish only and horse tanks would be cool as well
 
Here is my 75 gallon mixed reef.

lighting is 2 X 175 watt 14 K Hamilton halides, 2 X 110 watt VHO's ( one super actinic and one aquasun ), and 2 X 55 watt 50/50 power compacts.

I have a Euroreef CS 6-1 skimmer in a 29 gallon sump.

120 gal. VHO lighting, big skimmer, sump/fuge etc. etc

I like closeups and macro's much better but here's my current money pit.

Here's my 75 mix. Relatively low tech: 440 W VHO (2x White and 2x Actinic), usually with a 50W "moonlight" that was not functioning at the time (bad bulb, I hope), a generic skimmer, and a Quiet One 3000 dual return. While the corals look great, I've still got a little hair algae lingering on the sides.

Peter, your tang doesn't look like it suffering to me :) Reefing is like raising kids, if you have kids simply grin and nod... LOL
 
Here's my in office 75 g mixed reef up about 4 1/2 months.

I have a 30 g sump/fuge with a ER ES5-3 skimmer. Dual Hamilton SE 175 MH with 110 w of T-5 supplemental lighting.

Full tank from the front just a week ago ...

look in my gallery is a 3 yr. old 29 gallon with a 20g sump a 150 w hqi with a 20k ushio bulb overdriven by balast
 
Bax, nice looking tank. I looked at your build thread. nice job. I don't know how I missed the thread originally though. I have a question if you do not mind. What Kelvin are the 175 watt SE halides are you running? I currently run 14 K 175 watt Hamiltons and am getting a bit tired of the blue look and am looking for a whiter bulb. I like the look of your photo. I am considering the coralvue 175 watt 10 K reeflux SE bulb. Just wondering what you were using.
 
Thanks Froggy!

These are 10K Ushio's I like the look of the 10K MH with the T-5 suppliment. I run a ATI Aquablue+ and a Pure actinic bulbs.
 
I have yet to take a decent pic but here is some of my 29...
