Hello everyone,

Not new to the hobby but new to MASC. Had a nice SPS reef about a decade ago when I lived in Austin. Moved here, took a heavy travel job, and got out of the hobby for awhile.

Long story short, bought a new house last year with an eye on placing a tank. The new system is about 8 weeks old and was upgraded from a 4 week old 90 gallon.

The specs:
150XH DT (48x24x31")
AI Hydra LED-lit (switching back to MH for the depth.)
Basement-plumbed sump (Trigger Systems 36S)
LifeReef VS2-24 protein skimmer
20H refugium (to be installed)
Aqualogic DeltaStar 1/4hp chiller (to be installed)
Neptune Apex Gold
(DOS)
(LSM)
(Controlling heat/cool/lighting)
(PH)
(ORP)
(Temp)
(Salinity)

Livestock:

Fish:
Male and female Squareback Anthias
Sailfin Tang
Yellow Tang
3 BG chromis (still happy)
Banggai Cardinal
Flame Cardinal
Cleanup crew (Trochus/Cerith + 2 top crowns and misc hermits
2 Skunk cleaners
(That's about all the fish that will go in.)

Coral
At this point, not much since this tank is still maturing but both of these have been doing well.
Frogspawn frag
Green Star

Thanks!
Adam

Thanks for the welcome messages. At this point I/we are doing quite well. Been in Colorado almost a decade and now in Littleton for a year. Used to live in Park Hill but a new addition (and now another on the way) to the family necessitated a space upgrade. It's amazing how this hobby has changed while I was out of it.

Still have quite a lot of work to do:

This weekend: Move sump from top of equipment room stand to bottom.
Plumb up chiller in prep for MH conversion
Plumb up refugium (final)
Plumb up BRS GFO/GAC reactor pair

I expect to be showing some crack by the end of the day Sunday.

Some iPhone pics of the DT and the equipment room.
