      So This Is My 150

      After a few years of fresh water in a 46 gallon, I got tired of seeing all the cool stuff you could do with a saltwater system, so I finally bit the bullet and dove in. I am now a reef addict.
      Started this 150 (60x24x24) about 2.5 years ago. After many lessons learned, and learning much from you all, I think it is dialed in nicely now.

      Just got a Canon 2TI D-SLR, which is my first real SLR camera, so I am still trying to understand that whole thing, but here are my first attempt at some pics (probably some over/under exposed, wrong settings, etc).

      enjoy....

      FTS:


      In-stand Sump:




      Fish room is the tiny closet under the stairs behind the tank: All electrical is run through hole in wall to American DJs, timers, and Ballasts. Top-off water/kalk is in a 20 gallon Brute.


      Calcium, Alkalinity, and top-off are all run on BRS pumps with timers:


      Lights are strictly T5s. Running 7 48" bulbs:


      Bulb combo: 4 ATI Blue Plus, 1 GE 6500K Daylight 1 UVL 75/25 and 1 UVL Actinic White

      Beautiful tank with excellent growth. What kind of ballast your you running on those T5's?

      Great looking tank! Why did you stop with 7-48" bulbs? I have the same tank and I run T5's as well on 2-660 ballasts. I run 8 bulbs. Just a question.....The tank is beautiful!
