Wow very nice. You have given me renewed hope in being able to run a mixed reef. I saw your lighting info what do you try and keep your tank parameters at? Do you do any supplemental feeding?

I try to have parameters ideal for sps. However my goals and reality don't meet perfectly. My alk is in the high 8, CA 380-400 and mag is always too low. Nitrates super low but my phosphates creep up occasionally so I now run GFO continuously. I do not do any supplemental feeding. I merely feed the fish pellets and spiralina flakes and the coral get all the fish poo that they can find
 
Do you perform any carbon dosing or run Zeovit or anything like that?

Have to say it again BEAUTIFUL tank!

Thank you for the compliment.

No I do not use carbon dosing or zeovit. I just feed my fish some pellets and spirulina flakes and the coral get all the fish poo they can find. I tried biopellets about three years ago or so and it did not work out well for me. I have gone back to basics more or less. I use a calcium reactor, ATO, chiller, GFO, refugium with lots of chaeto, an awesome bubble king protein skimmer--BK 200 mini and I utilize metal halides and t5s for lighting. Lots of flow in the tank (but everyone says that). I complete a 10 gallon water change weekly becasue that is all my back can handle, which is not a lot of water change for a 180 gallon tank. And I use saltwater and RO water from two LFS because i just don't want any more equipment at home
