hi. didn't know where to put this, so i put it here. just wanted to say hello to everyone, like the welcome suggests.
i'm from pa, but i hear alot of good things about manhattan reefs. i'm just 5 years young in the reefkeeping hobby, and have a few tanks at the moment.
the display is a 195, built by glass cages, with a starfire front and drilled for a closed loop.
the loop is powered by a reeflo barracuda, which runs through an oceans motions 4 way.
the lighting is 3 SLS ballasts (gallaxy 250 watters on the outside and a magnetic 400 in the middle), and 3 lumenarc mini reflectors.
lamps are various.
the skimmer is a MSX 300.
i also utilized a perfecto 125 as a sump with refugium, and i have a few frag/prop tanks plumbed in.
my stocklist varies. my display was generally sps dominated, but the frag/prop tanks are now filled with mostly lps. my love is for lps.
australian lps is what i've had a taste for lately.
here are a few pics. soem are recent, some are older...
back of tank-
early pic of front of display-
i'm currently selling the 195 and will be replacing it with a 6' x 6' square tank that is 21" tall, with a single overflow, dead center.
that is down the road some. meanwhile, i'll be keeping the breeder tanks running along with the sump.:bablefish
