My 180g

I'm kinda new to this forum. I've got tons of info but really never posted. Thought I would start by showing my 180g AGA tank. It's pretty small compared to most of the tanks here, but until I get a larger house, this is going to have to work.

Some info on the tank: I set it up in fall of 2007. I started the hobby with a 55g reef and realized that it gets full real quick. I have the tank on my main floor with all the equipment in my basement. I have a 50g sump and a 20g refugium. I run carbon and uv 24/7 and my skimmer is a MSX250. I do bi-weekly water changes of about 15-20 gallons.

So, enough talk, here are some photos.

All your inhabitants look great. I'm in love with your torch corals.
And your rose anemone, Wow.
Lovely tank.

My lighting is a coralife 72", 3x 150w de bulbs with four 96w pc. The halides are 12k reeflux and the pc's are current duel actinics. I love the color but wish I would have gotton the 250's. I just replaced the pc, due to the crazy price I'm going to retrofit some T5's in next time around.
