Hey all, have been lurking around here for a while, talked to many of you, great site, great reefers... so here is my little piece of the oceans in my living room

bit of background
215g Oceanic, tank is being up and running for a year now, this was an upgrade from the two 75g tanks I was keeping at the time and were running for two years, that makes me a 3 year old newbie.

setup specs:
215g Oceanic Ultimate
75g converted tank into sump
20g remote sand bed 10" deep
MSX250 Skimmer
PM Kalkwasser reactor
Aquatinics Constellation T5 lighting
MP40w pump
3 Koralia 3 pumps

future planned upgrades
MP40w pump to replace Koralia's
Controller (maybe Apex, undecided)
Calcium Reactor (big maybe)
