Hey Guys...welcome to my tank build. It's been a long overdue project so I hope to get this one up and running asap. This is going to be my primary display tank in the lobby and it will be a mix reef system with but with big emphasis on SPS. This is currently what I have planned for the system:

Tank Dimension: LeeMar 250G (60"X36"X26") Peninsula Style (Starphire Front and Sides)
Refugium/Sump: Custom 186G (60"X36"X24")
Lighting: 6X Kessil A350 Spectral Halo LED - built-in UVA, 450nm, 460nm, and Daylight die or 6X AI Super Blue
Main Pump: 2X Eheim Compact+ 5000 2640GPH total - roughly 6X turnover
Circulation Pumps: 2X MP60wES
Controller: Neptune System APEX
Skimmer: Super Reef Octopus XP8000 Internal Cone Skimmer (rated for 1000G)

Cool that you're doing peninsula style. Where are you planning on putting it?

So cool, I've been waiting for this to happen. I have some nice LPS donations to add to it when it's up & running. It'll be barebottom, right? or will you do a faux sand bottom?

Garath and Jimmy, I believe it was something about a dispute over species, they got into a physical altercation and the bag ripped open..
