    This is my saltwater reef tank its a 72 gallon bow front, I use a protein skimmer filtration system (is there any other? lol) and a calcium reactor which has been a pain to get working right, a 1200 gallons per hour water circulation pump, a 300 watt heater and a 1/5 hp Chiller to keep the water cool in the summer.

    Lighting is 48" CORALIFE Pro HQI Metal Halide 150w/Compact Fluorescent with 4 LED Moonlights.

    You can watch this in HD on You Tube.

    Thank you!

    It’s been a little over a year now. I’m going to upgrade to a 120 gallon tank and plan to make a fast motion video documenting its construction and cycling. Come to think of it I might have to split those up into two videos.

    That's pretty cool I must admit...

    Maybe in due time I'll think about getting a tank and some wildlife to put in it...

    Gorgeous! I know the costs and work that go into keeping them and I have to admit that seeing other peoples setups is much better financially/strifewise than running one yourself!
