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

Sweet setup! I love your stand and the way the two tanks look. I'm assuming the fish room is through the wall behind the tank?

Looks great! What is that little fish in the lower tank? Looks kind of like a frogfish.
