Hi Never posted here before, but I just moved to Astoria a few weeks ago. I lived near Boston and was an active member of the boston reefers society until the move, but I have poked in here a few times. The tank started a year ago and the contents have gone through 2 different tanks before the current one. I built everything except the tank itself which was made by glasscages. Here are the specs 24x24x18 high 1/2" starphire 3 sides. Barebottom...but only because we couldnt lift the tank with the sand in it and I decided to try the look (4th floor walkup). 15 gallon acrylic sump with refugium 6 24w T5s (recent change from 250MH) grossly oversized Orca skimmer, nano-sized Ca reactor, lots of various other expensive junk. I had a 24x18x8 frag tank plumbed into the system, but it took up too much valuable apartment space so it is no longer (for sale actually-thread coming soon). The tank is pretty much entirely SPS with one chalice I like. I have pretty much cleaned out my beginner SPS and have a lot of the overpriced "designer" corals for some reason. I will hopefully have some frags of the hard-to-get stuff in a bit of time. Here are some pics of it being set up, and the most recent pic I have is still from a month or so ago. I still need to find my camera and post recent pics. Thanks for looking, and I am looking forward to meeting some of you! |

Welcome to MR. Welcome to NY. Very nice clean setup you've got there. Would love to see the current configuration. Good luck with everything. FYI, we have two large frag swaps every year. The next one will be held in the fall. Russ
