My 29g has come a long way! I decided to go crazy with an all SPS tank. I got rid of several really nice corals and cut my rock way back, but I absolutely love the tank now! It hurt most getting rid of my Australian Gold Torch Coral, but I gave it to a friend up the road who I knew would take care of it and I'd still get to watch it grow and look great. :-) I'm beginning to become a bit of an SPS Freak... My filtering is currently about 30ml of Biopellets in a NextReef ...
Hey guys, just checking in to show the progress I've made. Over the past week I had a 90 gallon tank and stand listed on Craigslist.

You can see the spreadsheet itemized here. http://melevsreef.com/pics/12/3/kc_032512_breakdown.jpg If you like group buys, here's ...
Here is the latest on the tank in the last couple of months. I have done 2 major updates: This first update was that I bought a MARS unit which allowed me to eliminate the back section breeding setup (which I will later used for larval rearing and other stuff). I spent parts of this weekend plumbing the remaining breeding set up into the sump that was part of the MARS unit. I purchased a Super Reef Octopus 5000 External Skimmer that should be here this week to complete the breeding ...
