Hi uhuru,
Apologize in advance if you already covered this question in this excellent build. I didn't read every page of it.
How are you feeding in NPS? I assume you feed semi-constantly through out the day? Are you using some sort of auto dosing unit?

I also shot a video of the right side of the tank yesterday. The quality should be better on this one:

Probably Guaiagorgia. I still have it I just moved it to the bigger tank. It has probably doubled in size since the beginning.

So Mike, now that it's been a little over a year for this system, is there anything you would have done differently if you could redesign it?

Definitely.... and by the way my next system is going to be a monster, no holding back type deal. I want a full fish room with drains in the floors and all that! Here are some thoughts off the top of my head:
1) Set up a huge refugium with deep sand/mud bed, no rock, lots of seagrasses and mangroves. The refugium should be 2 - 3x the size of the display. Nutrient reduction is a secondary role. Its primary role is food production. I will also have tons of peppermint shrimp in there to produce tons of eggs. This will be set up 6 mos. - 1 year before the main display is connected. It will bypass all filtration and feed directly to the display.
2) Every tank will be large enough and peaceful enough to house aiptasia eating fish, such as copperband butterflies.
3) A separate, connected small tank will be set up to culture berghia nudibranchs.
4) The main display tank will be 6' long or more and house multiple groups of anthias.
5) Chilled surge tank above the system to dump foods into the tank at regular intervals. Plumbing with 1" or larger diameter tubing to prevent any clogging.
6) The main tank will have an aesthetically pleasing cover planned with the design in order to keep valuable fish and sand sifting gobies from jumping. Would like to keep multiple sand sifting fish if possible.
7) Oversized chiller
8) External wavebox(es) on display tank in addition to internal vortechs similar to the way they are arranged now.
9) Purpose built ozone reactor.
10) Frag tank connected to system.
11) QT tanks for corals/rock and fish connected to system but able to run on own loop when in use.

Why no rock in the refugium? Do you feel that rocks are counter-productive to food production?
