Thank you!
Single mag 18 for the returns and two WP40s in the display.

Thanks....makes me wonder if I'm using too much on mine.

Looks like you stumbled upon a diamond in the rough. complete transformation on the sump once you cleaned it all up. Always nice after you bust your butt for something that you love doing, that you can sit back and enjoy this beautiful reef that you created. Very nicely done! reminder of why I love this hobby

It was definitely a challenge. Didn't realize how much work I was getting myself into, but worth the rewards.
Now I impatiently wait for everything to fill in!

Accidentally started an acan garden. Won several of these in a raffle and one was given to me by one of the volunteers at the beginning of this journey.

Side view isn't so bad from the couch.

Nice job on the tank. You are making me want to scrap my 150 and go back to a 180. My 150 is 30" deep it can be a pain but I like it. Used to love my old 180 though. It was perfect

The center of the tank is lit by an 8 bulb TEK fixture with a mixture of ATI T5HO only bulbs... this is a great example of why I still use T5HO.

I don't miss that height from the 220. I'm glad I found stumbled across this one.
