Greetings,
My current reeftank was started in December 1998, but I consider it established as of April 1999 thats when my other reef tanks were migrated to this tank and it become a true reef tank.

Tank is a 180 US Gallon Oceanic Tank with a 55 Gallon sump.

Circulation: Main pump is a Iwaki MD70RLT that powered four 1/2" returns plus four MaxiJet 1000 powerheads on a wave maker. A secondary pump (MAK4) is being added to power a 3/4" SeaSwirl and two Silent Surge devices.
Skimmer: ETS 800 Gemini powered by a Iwaki MD55RLT pump. Skimmer produces about 1200ml a week of dark stinky skimmate that makes your noise hairs curl.

Percula Clownfish in a host anemone.
