I am new to this site but have been keeping saltwater tanks since 1992. I started out with a 90 gallon F/O and a 55 gallon reef back then but was only able to keep soft corals and anemones in the reef tank. I kept these tanks up and running for about six years until I finished college and then setup a 180g tank when I moved to FL in 1999. I then bought a house and decided to go bigger so i setup a 450g reef tank but this wasn't big enough so I decided to setup my current 600g tank. The specs for this tank are as follows:
