cdouble reef. the life & times thread

This thread will be updated over time to chronicle my tank and progress.

It is a 265g display tank with a 75g sump with refugium. Built by Aquarium Art of Miami. (Design, build thread: Geek tank...

It has 4 LED grids covering a huge spectrum including uv, red, green, yellow, white, blue. I also have 4 Kessil 360's which I use for soft sunrise / sunsets. Apex controller with an energy bar 8 keeps everything monitored and logged.

I have live rock and live sand in the display and refugium. The refugium also has dragons breath, chaeto and caulerpa with a light schedule which runs opposite my display.

Ok. Time for the pics!

Hi, any FTS or equipment info?

Dave.M

Here's a link to a FTS before the coral went in. I was busy after I uploaded the pics earlier and didn't get a fts with all the coral in it. I'll grab one tomorrow. In the meantime here is a FTS of my rock work on install day 5 weeks ago: http://i.imgur.com/GuUVUeA.jpg

Equipment.

4 Kessil 360's
4 black box led grid's. (I can't see the manufacturer, but they're your standard full spectrum LED grids)

2 overflow boxes
Overflow goes into filter sponge, then through plastic bio balls, then skimmer, fuge, return.

Octopus skimmer which is rated for a 400g system.
Reeflo Superdart pump that moves over 3000gph
RODI filter is outside, line runs in to the ATO float switch which is in the final section of my sump before the return inlet.

That fuge shot:
