Twin overflow boxes
Two 1.5" drains
Two 1" returns
Deltec AP702 skimmer, gravity fed at 600 gph
Two Tunze Stream 6100 on a 7095 controller
Three 250 watt DE AB 10k bulbs in PFO mini pendants driven by PFO HQI ballasts
Three 60" VHO (2 super actinic, 1 white actinic)
35 gallon sump
Mag 24 return
Pictures: (forgive the sizing, I am lazy)

Scott.
I am slowly getting the SPS program up and going. I have about 30 now if I do not lose anything. I will be fragging a number of corals for the purpose of selling or trading.
Unfortunately my camera sucks. I have been pestering the wife to buy one of the really nice 8+ megapixel cameras for her business. No luck yet.
Thanks to everyone else for the compliments.
Whats really funny about the whole new setup is that every penny I spent on the tank was saved from either selling my previous equipment or making cash on the side either selling fish tank cabinets, re-selling used tanks in the paper, or believe it or not a little yard work on the side. None of our normal income was used. I did blow my coral and fish budget by going way overboard on the skimmer. It also pays to watch for quality used equipment and tanks.
