Where The Tank is Now

As I promised in the last post, here is a description of where the tank is now.

Equipment

Tank, Stand, and Canopy:
90 Gallon Oceanic Reef Ready Tank
Don't know what kind of stand and canopy are included, but they get the job done
Canopy is modded to raise the metal halide lighting 10" off of the water and to look more pleasing to the eye

Refugium lit by two T5s with Glo Ballast
Cheato and Mangroves with Live Sand
Mag 7 Return Pump
BRS Dual GFO/Carbon Reactor with ROX .8 Carbon and High Capacity GFO driven by Maxi Jet 1200
SWC Protein Skimmer (Don't know the specific model. Seller said it was rated for 200 gallons)


Lighting:
400 Watt Metal Halide
14k XM Bulb
Driven by HID Electronic Ballast
3 Actinic VHO's
URI Bulbs
Driven by Icecap (440?) Ballast



Top Off/Dosing:
Chicago Sensor Float Switch rigged into extention cord
Aqualifter Pump
6 Gallon Holding Container
2 tsp/Gallon Kalk Mix

Flow:

Maxi Jet 1200 modded to push 2,000GPH



Fresh Water:

That's enough for the equipment side of the tank. I'll post something with the livestock next post :)
