Mike's Bio
Been keeping salt water tanks since 1977. Had various tanks of 30 gal, 55, and a 125 ...all fish only. For the last 8 years have had a 90 gallon and 2 years ago starting keeping corals and now addicted to reefing.
Over the last year I started a new tank system totalling 870 gallons total. This is a 420 gallon display with a 180 gallon sump and 270 gallon mixing station combination of RODI and salt tanks.
The new tank is a DSA all glass tank 108x30x30. The tank features 8 Radion pro lLED lights, a Vivid aquarium 180 gal sump in the basement. I dedicated a portion of a room as a fish room. The plumbing is all schedule 80 with valves and unions everywhere. I have a bubble magas skimmer, Aqua logiic in line 1500 watt Titanium heater, JBJ chiller, Aqua logic 114 watt UV, Apex controller, I run a BRS 2 aprt calcium, alk, and magnesium all dosed with a auto dosing system. I have a frag quarantine and a 20 gal quarantine.
The tank also has a custom built canopy lift I designed and built and custom cabinetry by Rob (Hockeynut) The canopy lift allows the entire canopy to raise about 2 feet, so I can easily access the tank.
The return pumps are 2 Wave 2 pumps , 1/2HP each along with 4 MP-40's on the back wall and 2 Maxspect Gyre 150's . One at each end.
The tank now has a nyriad of corals starting to grow and about 24 fish.
