my 92 cornerbow pics of my current tank

huskerduck What's up. I remember when you picked up your 155 bowfront from Jason. I was the guy (that helped Jason out in his store) that helped you load your equipment and figured out how to put the canopy in your SUV by having the back windows open. I thought when you brought all of your livestock, and the ship to Coral Reef Pet Center you were doing all of this in Fiji? Good to see you are here doing the addiction thing again. Later Mark

cool build I just seen your tank build and it's a killer system. I didn't know that Jason's little store sold tanks in Salt Lake City. Sweet set up.

I picked up a 210 gallon all glass aquarium, dual overflow tank, stand, canopy, 6 ft.light fixture with two VHOs and three metal halides/and ballasts, and a calcium reactor from Scott in Albany last week and am going to set it up soon. I will post progress of this system as I go. My current system is a Oceanic 92 Corner Bow. I will post pics of my current and future system,when I figure out how to load them. Mark

I have a sump I have a esump that is made out of acrylic 30x12x16 that has a filter sock hanger, and was only used a few months, for $80 OBO costed me $200 or trade for equipment for my 210 build. Located in Salem also. PM if you are interested.

Hi everybody, my name is Mark Birkett. I was turned on to this site by my daughters boyfriend Jase Adams (current member). I am 49 year old tile contractor (trade) with very expensive hobbies. I have a 75 gal. tank with overflow, black wood stand & canopy, 40 gal sump/fuge, octopus protein skimmer, Pacific Coast Imports chiller, Pacific Marine calcium reactor /co2, P.M. media chamber, titanium heater /digital controller. Lighting now is two 400 watt metal halides, 1 vho super actinic, 1 cf blue actinic. I have a 8 bulb t5 (5 10k/ 3 actinic that I am going to put into this system. I have been in this hobby for a couple of months and obtained everything I own from a guy that quit the hobby. I don't know very much about the hobby but am learning fast. I have a R/O water system and found that healthy water = healthy livestock. Inside the tank. 100 pounds of live sand, 120+ pounds of live rock, some corals, zoos, mushrooms. Fish 1 lg. hippo tang, 1 lg. lavender tang, 1 lg. maroon clown. 1 sm. angel. 1 sm. blue cromis 1yellow goby. 2 fire shrimp,1 peppermint shrimp. 2 crabs. 1 clam. many snails & hermit crabs for good housekeeping. I also find myself like most addicted fools, find that my tank is over crowded and can't put much more into it, so will want to get a larger system so I can spend alot more money. I wil post Pics of my setup so everybody can see, and am looking foreward to any advice to help with my new obsession. Thanks Mark
