Nice setup, exactly same dimentions as my tank. I run the same return pump as yours and also run 250w metal halides. Can you take pics of your refugium and sump please?

I have a friend who does that so when his mushrooms and xenia spread he can remove them easily because they create their own frags by splitting onto the rubble.

Incredible looking tank! How did you manage to clean the overflow box? I was thinking about going at it, but not exactly sure how?
