180 gallon reef display

I thought I'd post a link to our 180 gallon display tank. It's in fairly good shape in this small video. Let me know what you think! By the way, it's my first youtube video so I hope it works ok.

Thanks for looking!

Very nice. Can you tell us a little more about the tank? How old, what equipment i.e lighting, pumps, filtering etc. Great job.

Thanks guys!

The equipment list if fairly simple. 180 gallon main tank, 90 gallon sump with refugium-2-7" socks, Aqua Euro skimmer, Eheim 1262 return pump, JBJ Digital temp controller with heater. 2 - Tunze 6105 powerheads in main tank with Tunze controller. Lighting is 1 - A350W on the left side of the tank with 2-180 watt 50/50 with 4 u/v fixtures in the center and on the right side of the tank. Total wattage is currently 450 watts. We'll be changing the Kessil out later and putting the original 180 watt fixture back in. Coralife salt mix, no dosing, no chiller pretty much no problems.

Oh, forgot to answer the other question. The tank has been up in it's current config for a little over a year. We had to change locations and this required a system(s) move which did not go well. We'll be taking the system down roughly in 6 months for a tank change hopefully. At that time we'll be adding much more live rock(Tonga branch) and combining fish from other tanks that I've been using for testing. We currently run 5 tanks.
