Very Nice Setup ampresearch! How long have your tanks been setup? What do you do for calcium and alkalinity replinishment? With that much lighting your electric bill must be through the roof!

the system has been up for around 5 years now. this particular frag tank was just redone about 3 months ago. next week i am adding another 62 frag on the other side. as for the power bill well my pwoer runs around 450-500 per mounth and my water bill is around 160. I evap around 90 gallons a month or 6 gallons every 2 days however you want to put it.

thanks for the compliment
