Is that oceanic 45 the same tank as mine? 30-inches long?

No, it was 24x18x24.

The Tech series has 1/2" starphire, black silicone and euro-bracing.

Hey what's up Mike.

I am currently tankless for the first time in 5 years. We move to Royal Oak in a week, and are selling the house in SCS. I don't have much time for a tank right now, as I have a bunch of poison dart frogs.

The dart frogs are cool. Glad you were able to get out form under the house. You will have a tank soon enough I am sure.

I sure liked that 120 worm factory you had Mike ;) You have changed tanks, reefing styles and equipment more than anyone I know.

I guess I have ;)

I had 8 fans in that hood. Pat used to Joke and ask me if I needed flight clearance for it. On that tank I had 2-250 and 2-400's and it was 120 gallons. On my 270 I have 2-400's and 2-250's lying in wait until I can get them over it.

I think I have tried just about every form of lighting available (maybe next tank I will use some solar tubes as well) and keep ending up with MH as my light of choice.

The 270 is actually turning out to be an amphopod factory :) which will be nice when I add a pair of mandarins way down the road.
