Awesome tank! I want to do the same thing. Have a question with the close loop system. So what is the purpose of that? Just so that you can run an inline carbon and for flow?
What are the benefits and what about leakage?
Thanks

yeah, they spread out during the day tho, so it is only at night. that is the first time i have seen that many of them in there. the phyto is easy to do and if some of your corals will really thank you for it.
thanks, the closed loop is just for circulation so i wouldnt have to have any powerheads in the tank. i hard plumbed everything and leak tested, so hopefully i wont have leak issues. i already had the carbon reactor and thought i may as well plumb it in while i was setting up. one problem with a tank that is skimmerless is the gradual greening of the water. the carbon reactor really helps with that.

mmm. Do you think you're water is greening cause of the natural yellow light from the sun?

thanks for the comments. the darker clowns were not part of the original batch, but were being culled from another batch that was eating otohime top dressed food. after a while, that dark color fades because i am feeding different food. it really is a cool color tho

those pics are taken with all of the t5 bulbs on:
2 @ 54W ati blue plus
2 @ 54W daylight (12K)
right now, the effect of the sunlight on the colors in the tank is minimal. in the summer, everything has a washed out appearance in the middle of the day because of the color of the sunlight coming in.
