Default 3 foot Staphire Cube Intro

Hello all thought I'd introduce my tank for some feedback. I've been on this forum from time to time but I think I might find myself here a little more often since my usual forum has run a little "dry" lately.

First some info:

Volume

Top tank: 36" x 36" x 24" approx 130 gallons
Lower tank: 30" x 24" x 16" approx 50 gallons
Frag tank: 30" x 12" x 12" approx 15 gallons
Sump: 48" x 18" x 19" approx running volume 50 gallons

Total Volume approx 250 gallon

Top tank is Starphire glass, lower tank is Acrylic

Lighting

Top tank: 400W MH 20K XM bulb in Luminarc III reflector standard ballast, 6 x 39W HOT5s mostly ATI blue +
Lower tank: 4 x 24W HOT5s, 3 ATI aquablue, 1 Pure actinic
Frag Tank: 2 x 24W HOT5s overdriven to 40W, 1 aquablue, 1 blue +

Additional Equipment

Bubble Master 250 skimmer
Calcium Reactor
Profilux Controller
Zeovit Reactor
2 Sequence Darts pumps, one for return, one for closed loop (top tank)

Pictures will follow as soon as photobucket comes back on line
