I have a 180g mixed reef thats been running about 6months or so. Its definitely had its ups and downs with cyano, red bugs, dinos twice, etc.

The stand is a custom stand that I built.
tang is a standard 180rr
lighting is 3 reefbreeder leds and 2 t5's but is being changed to halides soon
skimmer is a jns cones co3
also have a reactor for gfo/carbon and a diy ats
flow is 2 jebao rw15's

fish are
1 yellow tank
1 powder blue tang
1 kole tang
1 melanarus wrasse
2 occ clowns that have recently started laying eggs
1 bangaii cardinal
1 green chromis
1 hectors goby

Inverts are a fire shrimp, squamosa clam, and green gig anemone
 
Curious if you made the switch to Halides from T5 and why? I'm pondering a T5/LED mix similar to yours except may use 4 T5 bulbs and 2 reef keeper style lights on a 180g
