My 220G reef build

[Raul R Badillo]

Hello my name is Raul Badillo, just thought I would share my 220g reef build I started in May of 2014. It consists of a perfecto 220 with a 75g sump drywalled into my basement wall. RO xs200 skimmer, Cal and Alk doser 2part, DA reefkeeper elite with 7 pc4, net module, sl1, sl2, salinity, temp, alk probes. I run three Chinese LED blackboxes. 1 wp60 flow pump. I will post a few pictures after a little while as I gotta run and tear down a 125 lol. BRB

Thank you. its a fun tank. love having the room behind it for the sump and water change station. I did a 60g water change in 10 min today. Had to dose flatworm exit as I got an infestation but its clear. in a week I will dose again to be sure I got them all.

My sump room and water change station. I always have 29g of mixed salt on hand. Finally found good use for my 2nd wp60. Took one out of my display as two of them was way too much. I just run one on wave mode. Other is in my bottom 29 always mixing salt haha.

I was skeptical on the Chinese black boxes as im a halide guy but im getting good color and growth on all sps and lps. especially my tenius...fast grower but exploded after being under these.
