Here's my DAS EX3 after a week. Tank is a 180 with 50 gal sump/fuge, SPS dominent mixed reef with a pretty heavy bioload. Fish are a Moorish Idol, Copper Banded Butterfly, Magnificent Foxface, Hippo Tang, Yellow Tang, 2 Percs, 2 Manderins, 2 Clown Gobies, Blue Chromis, and a Six Line. I have to feed Nori twice a day mainly due to the Moorish Idol. He eats like a pig and if I don't feed him, he starts to pick on my SPS. Flakes or pellets are also fed once a day for the other fish with the exception of once a week when I feed a combination of mysis, brine, and cyclopeze. I also have 3 very large Derasa's, not that they really add to the bioload though. Unfortunately I'm looking for more out of a skimmer though, it has been producing less here recently so I guess it's time for a cleaning.
Here's a shot of my tank:

I vote this thread of the month!
I'll take some pics of my collection of skimmers when I get home. Just started day 1 of a 6 day flying trip

Thanks Luke... I'm running all T5's (8 total) mostly Giesemann and a GE 6500K. The shot above has a hint of yellow to it, but the tank actually has a very nice white with purple/blue hue. I've gotten some great growth over the last year, here's a pic that's a few months old that shows a little more true color:
The black and white guy you see in the first shot is a true Moorish Idol. I've had him going on 5 months now. He eats like a pig though and I wouldn't call him 100% reef safe, more like reef compatible because he picks if I don't feed him at least twice a day. Here's a better shot of him, the lighting is off on this shot too, this is when I was trying out some halides:

That tank is pimp man, great job! I was wondering if it was an idol, couldn't see the face well enough.
