It's been 4 months or so since I moved my tank inhabitants so I thought I would post a few pictures of some of the corals.

Cheers,
Kevin

Holy Cow!!!! What is that last one Kevin, it is AWESOME!

 

[CarlaW]

I am gonna guess, and say that it is his tort. But like I said, it is only a guess.

It could be the new whamma-jamma blue banana you know???

 

[Poseidon]

LOL!!!! That is a great name Charlie, you should register that.

LOL!!!! That is a great name Charlie, you should register that.

By golly, when I grow one that looks like that, maybe I will.

Looking awesome Kevin!! Now you're going to have to invest in a super wide angle lens so you can get a FTS...lol. Kind of hard to get a FTS of the monster isn't it? Looks like corals have made the transition really quickly and are growing great!!!

Thank you for the nice comments and for looking. Here are some full tank shots and some of the equipment. The system volume is about 775 gallons and the water flow is currently 12,500+ gph. I will add another 3,800 gph or so in the future as the corals grow out.

Regards,
Kevin

This a Barr dual Beckett skimmer powered by an Iwaki MD100RLT (2,000gph). The calcium reactor is a Korallin with a GEO second stage chamber. It's not big enough to keep up but it's the largest model they make.

This shows the Barr kalk reactor, light power bar, and closed loop pump. The closed loop pump is a Dolphin 4500 and runs 4 - 3/4" Sea Swirls. I had to strap the Sea Swirls down because I'm pushing about 1,100gph through them and they are rated at 850gph

Here's a shot from the backside.
