    Default Labman's 194 Gallon Tank Redo

    Here we go my tank is 194 Gallon Acrylic I had it about 4 years been in the hobby about 6. Problem started about 2 years ago keeping corals seems I just couldn't keep them. I had a nice collection of corals with Sps doing well. I had abet of a Algae problem I was battling. I decided to feel the phosphate reactor with Phosban or course I blamed the media but now I'm not sure. and quickly lost almost all my corals after that I went Fowlr for about a year then I decided to start over and do a rebuild from the sand up. I'll start with a few old pics of my tank. I will update as I go but right now I have a empty tank! btw the tank uses 14 39W T5 bulbs. I think this will mainly be a LPS this time pretty sick of SPS headaches.

    this is a very old pic of my tank probably when 1st put up trying to find a better one.
