Definitely a one of a kind tank. Love how the rock reaches up to the surface and great craftsmanship. How often and how much of a water change do you do?
 
Thanks for the compliments. I do a water change once a week of about 2 gallons.Here is the listing of what is currently in the tank and what runs it.

Well, lets see the tank is a 7.5 green leaf aquarium low iron rimless tank. It has a 5 gallon sump with a lot of live rock.

Mechanical
Eheim return pump in the sump
Mp10 only mechanical piece in DT
Cpr aeroforce protein skimmer(with a ba of chempure elite in the return)
AC3 controller (running ph and temp monitor)
digital heater connnected to AC3
ATO system controlled byAC3
AC3 power outlet Allows control of everything by way of iPhone interface
AI Nano Lighting set at a 3 hour ramp up and 3 hour ramp down.

Tank inhabitants
2 Vivid Ocellarius clown
CUC hermits and nasirrus snails
1 cleaner shrimp
1 pistol shrimp

Corals
1 poker star monti
1 rainbow monti
1 red monti
1 purple undata
1 neon green birds nest
1 green bali slimmer
1 red planet
3 different acans
fruit loop zoos
eagle eye zoos
green zoos(not sure on name)
1 Mummy eye
brown zoos(*spread like crazy)
1 Denro(has a big sprout on the side now)
9 duncans(on one stalk)
a bunch of mushrooms
3-4 richordia yellow ,green, blue mix

The tank has a weekly water change of about 2 gallons and the protein skimmer is usually half full at that point. I add aqua vitro fuel to the tank every 4 days. I also add calcium when needed. A couple drops of strontium every couple days has sure helped in coral growth. I feed the corals oyster feast and rods enhanced larval diet and frozen cyclopeeze. The fish eat that and some rods fish food and eggs . The fish are still deciding what they like . The AC3 controls the temperature and monitors ph as well as my ATO.
 
Inspired tank you’ve got there! How much noise comes out of the top of this thing? I think you’ve got a lot going for you on this build.
 
It really is not that bad on the noise. It could be quieter but I have had issues with the noise since installing the filter sock and it is a straight drop down. It really is only noisy when the snails go up and down the tube cleaning out the algae. Have not lost one yet knock on wood.
