Estrada's 80 gallon Starphire

Hi Everyone,

I have been looking around and finally decided to show my LPS dominant reef. I started this tank with what I had in a 29 gallon. It is a custom built tank by the best LFS in town. Any comments, questions are welcome.

Thanks guys. I upgraded from a 29 gallon that I had for a year and added everything from that into this tank to start out with. I have a reef octopus hang on back bh-2000 skimmer and have been very happy with its performance. ROWAphos has been running from the beginning in a TLF 150 reactor. Over the span of 2 months that the tank has been setup I have added an extra 100 lbs of fiji rock totaling 140 lbs. The flow is provided by 2 Koralia 1400's. The tank is 27 inches tall and with all the rock I have added it turned out to be just right for all my lps and a few sps. I'm using an ATI Sunpower 6 bulb fixture. I have not had to dose anything and I do ten gallon water changes every week.
