Well, it's been a while since I've been here. So.... on with the update, I will start with the new equipment first:

I started by sending my sump design to Rick at Synergy Reef:


And here is what was built, the new custom sump and two part containers:



And since I was having to tear down most of the tank to incorporate the new sump I decided to re-do the plumbing, add a algae scrubber here are the results:

Here is the sump in place and the plumbing:

And next was new lights, removing the canopy and, new rock work:

The lights are a Giesemann Infiniti fixture with 2-250 watt MH (XM 15K), 4-54 watt T5's (3-Giesemann Actinic+, 1-Giesemann Aquablue+) here are the lights hanging over the tank:



Then I added a second Ecotech Vortech MP40w and a battery backup:


I also had Rick at Synergy Reef make me an overflow cover to help keep salt spray off of the fixture and to clean up the appearance:


And then at the MTRC Frag Swap the Reef Shack had a new biopellet reactor and with the way the pellets were tumbling inside of the reactor with just a small Maxi-Jet pump had me sold and it was my first purchase at the swap. Its a "Bluefin Reactor by Triton Aquatics:"
