My visit to Austin, Texas

September 1, 2007: I decided to drive down to Austin to visit some of the gorgeous reef tanks I've only seen online. With the help of the Austin Reef Club, we were able to make it a Tank Tour for the day. Fortunately the weather cooperated.

Gabriel's 125 gallon Reef

Gabriel's tank is a 125g system. It has an external overflow, Seio and Korallia pumps for flow, and some DIY reflectors to get the most out of the MH lighting.
