My 225g tank
 
Ive been lurking on the CanReef boards for a while (mainly because I was looking for pics of people growing coral from ReefRaft & Fragalot) Some of the nicest SPS I have seen around!! I only spent a few days in Canada because I was on a project near Windsor but loved it.

Ive been in the hobby for about 5ish years now. I had my 125g tank for 3 years and upgraded to the 225g, then had an Alk crash shortly thereafter and lost all my SPS colonies. Now my 225g tank has been up for 1 year now and has stabilized but I have had to start over in regards to most of my Acros.

Tank is a Lee Mar 225G 72x30x24 w/ a 125g sump
Lighting is DIY Cree LED & VHO actinics
Aquabee return pump
2x MP40
2x Tunze 6105
ASM G5 Skimmer w/ Bubble blaster 5000 pump
Reef Octopus BP reactor
RedSea Ozone
Aquamaxx CaRx
Aquamedic Kalk Stirrer
1/2 hp Chiller
Nextreef MR1 for GFO
All controlled via APEX & Aquacontroller Jr

soon as you started dropping the named coral bombs i had to scroll up to see where you lived lol. some really nice pieces there... things are looking good. welcome to canada!

oh and where did you find those light hanging brackets? they're massive... a person could hang off those!

Cymaster007 04-11-2013 04:15 PM

Thanks!
Yeah we are spoiled here in california, they import many corals at LAX airport so our LFS are usually stocked w/ nice corals.

The light hangers are from amazon- they said 500lb capacity so I figgured it would do for some LED's lol... FastCAP SpeedBrace hangers
