Nice tank. What's the equipment list, dosing, feeding, livestock list?
Thanks here's a list of our equipment, dosing, and feeding schedule.
Lighting Coralife 250 watt MH with 14k Phoenix, 2x65 watt actinics, and 2x LED Moonlights.
Flow: 2xMP10ES set at 10 power on Tidal Swell and alternate to Reef Crest Mode.
Filtration:
50lbs of Pukani LR and approximately 20lbs of Fiji that the corals we transferred were attached too.
40lbs of LS
Proflex Fuge that drops into 2x100 micron filter socks, which goes through a chamber with 10lbs of rock rubble and chaeto. The lights are on alternating light schedules to the display tank to maintain ph.
JBJ ATO
Phosphate Reactor running ChemiPure Elite, which is changed out every 6 weeks.
SWC 120 cone skimmer. We love this skimmer because it's very easy to adjust.
Maintainence and feeding schedule:
We dose 2part Bi-Ionic daily, which we're still adjusting. Currently we're dosing 15ml's of Alk to 10ml's of Ca to maintain 9.0-9.5dhk and Ca at 425-450.
5ml of Kent Magnesium is dosed twice a week to try and maintain 1400-1450 levels for the chalices and to maintain Alk and Ca stablility.
Kents Iodine, Stontium, Coralvite, and Essential Elements are dosed once a week about half the recommended dosing on the bottles, since we do not test for these trace elements. However, we do notice a difference in tissue regeneration and the overall health of the corals with their ability to sustain even after some pretty serious temp and alk swings due to equipment malfunction and operator error in our old 24 gallon AP.
We feed our fish twice daily a combination of cyclopeeze and mysis in small quantities.
Corals are fed 1/2 cap of Oysterfeast and 1/2 cap of Phytofeast daily and hour after the lights go out and their feeders and polyps are out. The chalices are fed mysis twice a week, but will also eat food when the fish are fed. Unfortunately, the tank is so deep now that Christian can't feed the chalices anymore with his turkey baster. He'll have to go swimming if he tried
We also dose 12-15 drops of Brightwells Coral Amino's daily during feeding.
We turn off the return pump for 20-30 minutes during feeding and turn the MP10's on feed mode, so the livestock has an opportunity to eat it.
Two 5 gallon water changes are done during the week and a 8-10 gallon water change is done on the weekend. We'll probably taper back the water changes a little, but we were doing this because the corals were just moved from the other systems a little over a month ago. Prevented any spikes in ammonia, phosphates, nitrites, etc., when we moved the rocks with corals attached to them.

Tyree Tubu(?) Don't remember how to spell or pronounce it
There's several more lineaged pieces, but we ordered a few frag packs last year and one of them 50% of them came DOA and weren't labeled. The ones that survived are beautiful, but I still can't figure out what they're called. I'm sure I missed a few, but this is most of the list. Also, have a really nice maricultured colony that has a light green base and the deepest blue tips and yellow polyps I've seen. That's the only maricultured colony we kept. The rest were given to my cousin and Christian's Uncle

There's more, but we've gradually phased out of zoas. We've noticed that keeping sps and zoas at the same time is a little difficult. We're more focused on sps and are keeping a few select zoas, but most are being held at a fellow reefers place for growout, so we could sell and trade for other sps or nice chalices.
Sorry about the long list and answers
