Its a mag 12
I forgot to mention..the water,sand and rock all came out of my 180. I have a local reefer babysitting all my coral.. Juat felt like downsizing, same dimensions just 2' shorter which makes it fit in my living room alot easier, at the rate its clearing I should be able to aquascape it tomorrow, bought an engineer goby yesterday and have them holding it at the store until I know its safe..I plan on jamming a ton of small fish in it eventually. couple purple firefish, school of chromis, the engineer, per of occ. clowns and a goby or 2

Will do.. Left the lights on for about 15 hours yesterday doing a test to see if I need to run my chiller, I'm hoping not but considering the 250s are about 4" off the water I might have to.. after the lights were left on that long the temp was around 82.2 so I killed the lights to see how much the temp will swing then I will leave them on again tonight to see how high it gets.
Wife wants to help with the aquascaping, so I will post some pics of the aquascaping later, tank is already completly cleared....Fastest sand storm ever.. only about 8 or so hours

How about an update?
Aight lol.. Everything is coming along right nicely, got all the coral back into the tank.. Added a pair of clowns, one didn't make it, as me and jetskiking were talking about earlier.. Think they are chemically captured.. No crab in the tank to clean up the mess but the snails made quick work of it.. I'll try to get some new pics posted tommorow
