60x24x24
lighting will be 2 250w L3 mini stealth's
40 gallon sump
octo nw200
flows are 2 K4's and 2 3/4'' SW's for returns

hoping to get it wet in 2 months.

I've a 150 gallon breeder (what Oceanic calls a 156). The tank is relatively new, but everything in it is established. Hopefully the fuzz on the back wall will disappear soon enough!

I still have to finish the doors on the stand, but everything else is finished. Heres a shot of the basic look.

Two Tunze 6100s on a controller
MRC CR-2
MRC Kalkreactor
EuroReef CS250 w/eheim 1262 pump upgrade
Mag 18 return
8 T5 bulbs on 2 Icecap 660 ballasts
AquaController 3
Numerous other odds and ends, for sure!

-150G with 40G sump and refugium
-175w 14k halides with VHO actinics

mujtba · 07/24/2007, 03:21 PM

92cg60, how much LR is in your tank?? looks like 50lbs!! why does my tank seem to have so much more LR than anyone? Do I have too much???

t11t5 · 07/24/2007, 09:56 PM

some rock is more dense.

mujtba · 07/25/2007, 07:00 AM

hmm, should i remove some of my rock? i may have close to 180-200lbs in there...

t11t5 · 07/25/2007, 11:19 AM

I have 215lbs. I took out 15 pounds for a nano. I know exactly because I bought 230lbs at one time from TBS.

I know it does'nt look like much, I've tried to pack as much together while saving space at the same time. Most of the LR in there is the 50-60lbs from my old 55gallon, plus the other 60lbs I bought from a local reefer while planning the upgrade.

Minimum prob 120lbs... maybe more.
