* Via aqua 300 watt titanium heater. (comes on maybe once a year...Hellooo). ;D
* Korallin 1502 denitrator with aqualifter pump.
* Korallin 1502 c Calcium Reactor with aqua lifter pump. Effluent is monitored by a Pinpoint ph monitor.
* CGFI Panel consisting of 50 outlets which I think that 40 are being used, 5 are switched for maint. and the top one is the sump light, this panel is hard wired to my subpanel with two 20 amp. CGFI breakers, the chiller has it's own 15 amp outlet in the garage.
* Cheapo Odyesea 36 watt UV sterilizer (actually works great!).
* Phosban 150 reactor.
* Carbon Reactor.
* 15 gallon Black plexi Fuge that I had Tap Plastics make, 18 watt Coralife light fixture.

* Fish: one ten year old Maroon gold bar (female) clown, and a mated male, powder blue tang, yellow tang, sail fin tang, 6 line wrasse, long nose hawk, female mandarin, pajama cardinal, fire fish, bar goby, Lg. Lawnmower blennie,I'm sure there's more that I'm forgetting. I have three clams one 3" teardrop Maxima, a 5" blue Crocea, and what started out last year this december as a 4" blue spot GIGAS is now a 9-10" monster.

Well that's my tank, any questions feel free to ask.
 
Oh yea I also have a R2K twin moonlight set up, a Milwaukee CO2 regulator on a 5 Lb. bottle, Milwaukee Refractometer, two plastic 60 gallon pickeling containers one R/O and one saltwater ready to be plumbed for an automated water change system. next on the list is a battery back-up with two marine batteries and a ups.
 
Here are some pictures of my car both in california and our home in North Carolina. Actually that first picture was in wilmington (the ship behind me is the USS north carolina, Duh). BTW I took second placs in that show.
 
So I decided to play hooky today (marine depot order came to my door), I mounted my phosban and new carbon reactor side by side in my reservoir tank here are the pics. I also painted the bottom and back side black.
 
So I found some more pictures of my set-up here day-are. One is of my Multi stage RO Unit, a shot of my 1/3 hp inline chiller out in the garage with the halide ballasts to help keep the house cool, a close up shot of my electrical panel, the multi fan ventilation system plumbed out into the garage for the same reason (notice the twist lock connectors for the lights to remove the canopy), and the last picture is of the exact Quick change water change system I'm in the process of building (this pic I found on RC) I already have these same containers. ;D
 
I put an ad on craigs list to sell my tank........just to see if a rich woman woman wanted to buy a gift to a man who has everything, I'm not going to sell it but if someone gave me a chunk of change I would do it. the only way I can get the wife to let me upgrade is if I were to start over, what do you think this tank would be worth?
