I figured I'd make one of these since I always enjoy reading other people's build threads.

Anyway, my tank is a 40G Starfire Tank. The dimensions are 24x24x16. I had a 75G Tank for a little over 2 years, but, decided to take it down due to it being in my bedroom and the fact I would be moving out of my house soon. Little did I know that within 3 months I am now starting another tank already. Although I am still moving within a year and half I really didn't want to be without a tank for that long.

Here's a list of specs for the tank:

Tank:40G Starfire BB SPS(24x24x16)

Flow:2 x Tunze 6055 on a 7094 controller; Mag 9.5(dialed down a bit)

Lighting: 1 x 250W XM 20K

Ballast:PFO 250W HQI

Reflector:LumenBright 3

Skimmer: Deltec MCE600(In sump)

Other Filtration: RDSB(6G Tank filled with Aragonite)

Calcium/Alkalinity Supplementation:2 part

Here's some pics that I took this weekend.

I will be adding more water as it is made. Should be filled up by late tomorrow, if not Tuesday. I'll update some more when I have the return running. The Tunzes should be in later in the week, also.
