had to downsize from a 55 reef ready tru-vu to a 40 seaclear II with built in filtration.
the tru-vu ran off metal halide (2 - 150w 14k w/ 2 - 96w pc actinics) and this tank is running 156w t-5, as far as I can tell the t-5 are brighter looking though.
EQUIPMENT/LR&LS
in this tank I have about 50lbs of live rock and 50lbs of live sand (guessing), super skimmer 65 w/ catalina aquarium ca1400 pump, 156w oddysea t-5 lighting, catalina aquarium ca800 behind aquascape for flow, rio 1100 for return from fuge area, 18w coralife 7200k pc over fuge.
LIVESTOCK
I have a gold bar maroon clown, hippo tang, diamond goby, about 100 snails, 1-2 blue legged hermits (amazing they are in there, not sure where they came from), 2 heads hammer, 5-6 heads frogspawn, 30+ mushrooms, 2-3 small cabbage coral, 20+ green zoos, 25+ lunar eclipse zoas and some chaeto in fuge.
ok, I think that is it, but if I remember something I will definately update it.
any comments or suggestions/questions are welcome.
