Hi my name is Kevin and I have a problem. I have had the reefing bug for about four years now. I started with a 65g and that lasted me about a year. Then upgraded the nano to my first medium tank- 180g. Then it got tricky. I bought a 375g from DSA but was renting at the time. I had plans to stay renting there and setup the tank as I was having a hard time finding a job out of college. Then as I got the tank in and stand built I found the job. So the big tank was put on hold and a temp 125 was setup. Now that I could build a house I talked my fiance into a fish room, kinda. Its only a little larger than 8'x3' behind the tank. It has a water source for RO water, 2 dedicated circuits and 2 shared circuits, drain, and a door for me to get in and out. Oh and instead of baseboards I had them put tile to reduce mold if/when a spill occurs.
The 375 consists of 2 large lumenbrite pendants 250w 12 k reeflux se bulbs powered by coralvue ballasts, and a 36" current USA t5 fixture. I use two sicce 5.0s for returns. Besides the tank I have a ~40gallon acrylic skimmer setup which goes to my ~70g frag tank(which is still pretty empty), that flows into my return which is in the middle. On the other side is my ATS and refugium. I am keeping this mainly LPS but a couple SPS have stayed with me over the years and Im sure a couple more will find a spot in there as well.
Sorry for the long read but thats where I stand now...
