Hey everyone I have been on here only a couple times and decided to post up some of pics of my tank in order to share with everybody. The tank has been set up for about 3 years now and I did everything myself, upgrading from my first tank which was a 12 gallon JBJ nanocube. The tank started out as a 30 gallon in the same wall with a 20 gallon sump. I decided I wanted more depth so I upgraded to a 50 gallon with a 40 gallon sump, 2 months before I left for Iraq. I'm in the Marine Corps reserves and left may 2008 and just got back this May so I had great guy named Mike take care of the tank when I was gone referred by Coral Reef Aquariums in Seekonk. Let me just say that he did an awesome job and all the corals and bta you see in the tank were all freebies he threw in when he was gone. If you would like his number just pm me and I will let you know. So here is the specs on the tank

-JBJ A.T.O.
-Current 1/15 h.p. Chiller
-Current Sunpod 2x150 watt hqi de metal halides (Current 14ks)
-AquaMedics Return pump? I think
