Hi everyone, I signed up a while ago but never posted so I thought I would start with a post about my tank.

Tank Specs: Acrylic 375 Reef Ready 96x30x30 - Set-up on February 25, 2007

Lighting: 96 3w LEDs, an even mix of XP-G R5 Cool White LEDs and XR-E Royal Blue LEDs

Circulation: I have two 6100 Tunze Stream Pumps, one on each side of the overflow connected to a controller. A Tunze WaveBox was purchased 12-25-2005. Iwaki 40RLXT as my return pushed 1200gph back into the tank for added circulation. A second wavebox was added to the tank on June 25 2007 to help with water movement.

Filtration: The overflow goes to a 50 gallon breeder tank that holds Macro Algae and has two LED lights over it, this then flows into a 55 gallon container that is 50% full of water and this tank has 2 500w heaters in it controlled by a PinPoint Temp Controller. I have about over 1000LBS of Live Rock and 2" of Live Sand in the 375. The LS and LR have been in different tanks since 1995 so they are well matured. I have mixed sand, Some live and some not, all fine grain sand. I also used Nature's Ocean Bio-Activ Live Reef Sand from Advance Aqua Tanks, This stuff works great. It makes up 50% or more of the sand in my tanks. It is cheaper than most Live Sand. My Live Rock is a mix of Premium Fiji, Pohnpei, Marshall Island, Caribbean, and Kaelini Tonga Ultra. I use Instant Ocean Reef Crystals for my mix.

Extras: PRECISION MARINE 6 X 24 CALCIUM REACTOR W/EHIM PUMP. This is used to keep my CA, Mag, and ALK up. In May 2007 I purchased a JBJ Arctica 1/3 HP Inline Chiller that I run off the return

Additives: I use a CA Reactor for Calcium and Alkalinity (started using 12/2001). I use a Formula One, Formula Two, and Angel Formula from Ocean Nutritionand Frozen Spirulina Enriched Brine Shrimp by San Francisco Bay Brand. I feed one cube once a day. I also have Cyclop-eeze that I feed a few times a week along with Nori Seaweed. I soak all the food in Selcon by American Marine Inc and Vita-Chem by Boyd Enterprise Inc. I use Red Sea Coral Pro for my mix.

Really nice tank! I can't believe you have had that hippo for 15 years!
