Decided it's time to set up a few saltwater tanks. I bought a guy out of all his fish breeding tanks and equipment. I already have a 40 gallon total set up including sump with about 30 frags in it and so far airs doing great!!. Below are a few pics of the set ups. The big racks are all freshwater with a few angles some blue acara and some kribbs.

The top 30 gal is gonna be the frag tank with 8 t5 bulbs. Then drain down into the sump. The middle tank will the fowlr tank with 4 t5 bulbs and will drain down into the sump. Return is a mag 12. Think it'll be enough flow? I mostly have zoas and mushrooms. Water is a ro unit and will be adding the di filter to it soon. http://i482.photobucket.com/albums/rr183/bradw18_s10/2EB2999A-E786-4355-B3D7-87CDDD716281_zps5ncwpn3q.jpg (http://s482.photobucket.com/user/bradw18_s10/media/2EB2999A-E786-4355-B3D7-87CDDD716281_zps5ncwpn3q.jpg.html)

The big rack is now full with a 75 on bottom with 2 small 10s beside it. Middle level is 55gal with a 5 and 10 and top row is a 30 gallon with a 20 and a 10 beside it. Will be saltwater before to long. http://i482.photobucket.com/albums/rr183/bradw18_s10/B5F930B5-6012-4E21-8A58-1BE188C28AB7_zpsdvchqfpe.jpg (http://s482.photobucket.com/user/bradw18_s10/media/B5F930B5-6012-4E21-8A58-1BE188C28AB7_zpsdvchqfpe.jpg.html)

Picked up my bubble anemone 2 peppermint shrimp a coral banded shrimp and one clown fish. I put the bubble anemone in before I went to work, came home and couldn't find the new clownfish anywhere, the bubble had even moved spots right next to a power head intake ( it's a 802 with a filter on the inlet. ) got to looking close and the clownfish had hosted the anemone. Can't wait to move everything to my new tanks! Pics soon
