The tank is a stock mega flow all glass 180 with all drilled holes used as drains.I use a blue line HD40x for a return pump and using just the two drains would just about max them out so i used all four for drains.Lighting is three 250 watt XM 20K bulbs in lumenarc III reflectors driven off coral vue electronic ballasts with two 6 foot vho actinic bulbs driven off an ice cap ballast.For flow i use a blue line HD 40X pump on a closed loop with 4 penductors , a maxijet 1200 modded and a tunze 6025 modded.I built the sump out of 3/8 acrylic with baffles and bubble traps included and its capacity is about 60 gallons.The tank drains into a 100 micron filter sock .The skimmer is a ETSS 600 pro downdraft skimmer.a 2 foot by 2 foot refuge with macro algae is located in the final chamber of the sump .

SCHWEET!!!

You have the same lighting that many coral shops big and small use--XM 20k(or radium 20k) along with the awesome VHO actinic on icecap.

Great job, keep em coming.
