Yes, I have been running both for a while. I love it, growth and colors are great. I just sometimes shut them down in the summer on hot days for heat issues.

Just set up my MTC Pro Cal reactor. I'm going to let it run for a few days with no co2 injection to get all the air out. I transferred some corals but didn't go to crazy. I am thinking of adding some more rock behind the current aquascape to give the fish more areas to hide and sleep. Whatever...

Thank you everyone. I will be setting up my Ca reactor this week and then I am transferring corals in. This tank needs some COLOR!!!!!

I took some better pictures with my dslr instead of the iphone lol. The last pictures I posted of the tank I didn't realize I did not have all LEDs on and it was giving a rainbow effect. Here are some new pics with all LEDs lit and the T5's along with some fish shots.

Update time...I have light and fish I added a Marinepure BioBlock to my sump which is the 8" x 8" x 4" model, supposedly it has 23,000 Sq ft of surface area. I don't know how that is possible but I decided to give it a shot lol I built a box to cover my diy led/t5 lighting system out of...

Quick update.... Tank is currently cycled and I added a few fish from my holding tanks. I added my longnose hawk, purple firefish and 2 clownfish. I also did some more work in the sump area with the wiring. Here are a few more aquascape shots.

Thank you, I will try and switch out the clamps. I have been having a tough time finding plastic ones. Home Depot doesn't have them.

Time for a update and this time it has water I have had the tank running now for a week and a half and I've been dosing Microbacter7 daily along with 2 raw shrimp in a filter bag. I am past the ammonia part of the cycle and my nitrites are peaking up. The sump is all plumbed in through a...

Thank you guys. Nice to meet some of you also.

Your welcome Darren.... Just so you know no editing was done with any of the pictures I took. I just shoot on manual and play with the settings. Darren's tank is truly amazing and filled with some awesome eye candy....Yummy. Here is one of my absolutely favorite shot I took.

Thank you Darren and Kami, you two are very generous and great people to be around. Me and my wife had a good time and it was nice to see some familiar faces. The food was good and filled us up. I took a bunch of pictures of Darren's tanks but cant post them to the thread for some reason...

Yes, it's a 80g frag tank with a 29g separate fuge

Thank you for the compliments guys. I got the sump done and drilled the side for my reeflo dart pump. I added a 2" bulkhead with a valve and union to the intake of the pump. I came off the top of the pump with a 1 1/2" pipe followed by a union then continued the 1 1/2" pipe to split 2 ways to...

Omg I love the bio. I couldn't stop laughing. Good job Mike lol

I got around to painting the stand but I still have to finish the doors. I also added the sand and aquascape. I am currently working on the sump which should be ready by the weekend. I am starting to fill it up since it will take a few days.

Ok well obviously the tank did not make it to the stand this past weekend. I am busy this weekend and wont be able to do it either. I am looking into the weekend of May 3rd which is a Saturday between 10-12. Please let me know who is available that could help. Free pizza, beer and frags...

Between 11-1? Hopefully I will have the top done and all leveled out. If anything changes I will let you you guys know. Thank you so much. I need a few more guys, this tank is super heavy.

I am planning on having the top of the stand finished by the weekend.I would like to set the tank on the stand on Saturday. I will need help from 3-4 guys to place the tank on the stand. Right now the tank is located in the garage which is literally 15-20 feet away from the stand. There is no...

Jim, I'm going to need more then just frags lol. I need colonies to fill that sucker in haha

I was going to tee of the return manifold and control it to a slow flow with a valve. It will then overflow the fuge and drain into the skimmer area of the sump.
