Havent snapped all that many pics yet.. Maybe ill start a buildthread later on.
With all of that apparent sump space you should really start the trend on doing a high/low tide thing. Some people were talking about it in a thread a while ago, whereas in some reefs during low tide the corals are all exposed to the air for a short while a couple times a day. That would be a lot of fun to incorporate into a modern system.

The tank is 100x80x30 cm (240 litres), stand without aquarium is 115cm. Drilled with 3 holes, 1 for Durso 1 for return and one extra. I built the stand and cabinetry myself using IKEA kitchendoors amongst other stuff.
Skimmer i will run is Bubble Magus 150 rated for 600-800 litres
2x Tunze 6045
Returnpump Aquabee 2000/I
Lightning undecided but leaning towards T5
I will use a minimum of LR to make for a open scape.

That Philippe Grosjean drop-off reef tank is truly amazing.

Just an update from when I last posted pics last December. 85g SPS system.
I had color/growth issues until the last few months. Primary changes include increasing the photoperiod to 9 hours from 5 or 6, and feeding more food.
Love the look of this tank - can you post a link to your build thread please. Thanks.

You know, I did make a build thread but dang if I can find it! I swear I put it in the SoCal reefers forum, titled something like 85g SPS Build Thread.
If you find it, let me know, lololol!
My system's not terribly complicated. Just use a Profilux doser (Bulk Reef Supply 2-part,), 250w Radium in a Lumenmax Elite reflector, Galaxy electronic ballast, Tunze Nanowave Box, ATB 840 Skimmer, dose about 5 ml of vodka a day, 9 hour photoperiod, feed pinch of flake food a day, 1x per week feed Coral Frenzy (1/4 tsp or so).
I did add some nitrate to my system about a month ago, via a freshwater supplement. Corals seemed to like it but who knows. Nitrate never registers in my system, so I wanted to see what would happen if I had the tiniest bit show on the test kit.
I feed my rose anemone a good blast of PE Mysis each week. I had it a month and it split twice, lol....not a bad thing as it was a super expensive coral from Cherry Corals
I keep my alk high 7's or 8.0....whatever as long as my morning pH isn't below 8 I'm happy.
