So after 4 months finally finished my 225 upgrade. Thanks to Mike and SEA for the tank, most of the equipment, and most of the livestock.

ATB 1050a for skimmer (working great)
8 t5 80 watt bulbs 5 blue plus/ 1 purple plus/ 1 actinic/1 aquablue special (all overdriven by 3 ice cap 660's)
125 gal sump w/ barracuda ( too much flow running at about 60%)

Very nice. I want to see your frag system in the sump.

Two thumbs Up! It looks great. Pics of the sump / frag system?????

Good stuff man. Looks great.

Skimmer about 1 1/2 days worth of gunk, smells like death

Here is the temp frag rack in the sump, plans are to make something like this out of egg crate

I will also get a better t5 fixture

 

[oscarslr]

The total area in the sump for frag/refugium is about 3.5 ft of the 125gal. I debated to get the 125 as a sump but now the extra space is really convenient

I think the best part of the tank is the external overflow, really makes a difference with the aquascape and the bean animal drain system is the best I have ever had in any system (silent/easy to adjust/will never fail)

 

[aquaph8]

Oscar, do you have a pic of the overflow?

 

[oscarslr]

A bit hard to see but its 24 inches long centered at the back of the tank
