Esta's not so mini reef ;)

I guess I've been a lurker long enough..... its time for me to show ya my tank!!

The tank deets:
80 (ish) gallon - 63L x 14D x 22H
38 (ish) gallon homemade sump/fuge
6 bulb 48" t5 on left side of tank (zoos, clams, LPS side)
400W MH on right side (SPS)
Lifereef VS2 skimmer
A random ebay calcium reactor
Coast to coast overflow
+ I run GFO/carbon reactor that gets changed monthly

Flow is from 2 MP40s, plus my Mag12 return which is routed through a seaswirl

I have been running this tank since 6/2010 in the current configuration - the sump on this tank was actually my old display, so corals from that old display were used as starters of this tank, plus whatever I've added over the last year.

Current FTS:


Inhabitants include:
Corals - lots
Clams - 5 maximas, 1 crocea
Fish - lieutenant tang, yellow tang, 2 red tail tamarins, midas goby, starry blenny, dusky jawfish

Here are some close-ups of the current tank so you can actually see all the bubble algae I'm farming -






And, what I always find interesting - is what is under the hood
Overflow/return - beananimal silent system, etc

Inside the canopy (before I installed the MH, it is in that area on the right)
