enjoy. :mrgreen:

:mrgreen: Beautiful tank Shao :mrgreen:

Wish I had the room for a 180g reef. :mrgreen: How many watts of MH are you using? Any chiller being used in the summer?

PM sent.

Beautiful Shao, the leopard and powder blue are stunning.

Hey Shao long time no hear, the tank looks great :cool:
I am alway's amazed by the lucious growth rates everytime I see your reef!
We gotta hook up soon, and by the way:does this mean you have some frag's kicking around :mrgreen:

awesome as usual dude!! qoute from my two year old to your last pic
"lots of shushrooms"

i've been running dual 400W 10k MH with 2 160W vho actinics...

and i recently added a 250W 14k DE MH to the middle of the tank (had the light sittin around for ages waitin to be set up)

and i'll be swappping out one of the 400s for another 250DE shortly.

no chiller so far...

yeah, the powder blue and the leopard are among my favorites.

Shao,

the tank looks great! you can actually see everything now :razz:

Is that the red flowerpot I see next to the clams?? :eek:

The RHS looks a little bare, tell that colt to hurry up and grow :wink:

Why are you switching out the 400 for 250 arent the 400 better

not realy, 250 watt HQI (either DE or SE) can be just as/or more intence than 400's with a little power savings.

the real nice thing about going DE is the smaller size alows the use of more efficient reflectors and sense they are housed in a enclosure there is less heat added to the tank (or it is easier to take care of)

Shao, looks nice. theres a chance I might be going to Van for a two week course, would be cool to get a chance to see some of the tanks over there in person.

Steve

thanks for the compliments everyone...

christy~ yep, thats the red flower pot. still doin well.
nooooo, not the colt again. actually after i removed a big cap from the RHS a little piece of colt sprouted up, and is starting to grow pretty quick, you can just make it out behind the toadstool. and speaking of which, that toadstool is getting freakin huge too!

bear27~ like stircrazy said, 250DE can be quite comparable to 400SE, though i like what the 400s have done for me, i need to cut down my electric consumption.

Steve~ just drop me a line when your in town.

WOW. Nice looking reef.

Definately a nice tank. How old is you tank, it looks very mature.
