Hi, ik my name is Michel and I'm around this hobby for many years now. I started with a nano cube of 30 liters that's around 6 gallon.
This days I have 290 gallon running. This 290 gallon is one system divided in 3 in 3 different tanks.
One show tank rimless glas.
One algae tank rimless aqr.
One frag tank rimless glas.
Sump rimless aqr.

All my systems are separated even they run on one system. This to close a tank down for maintenance or another issue.

The overflow is done by dubble pipe and a dubble 90 degree overflow one low with valve one high with an air hole and one emergency overflow. This for each system the same. Complete silent and safe.

In the sump I have some kilos of live rock. The filtration is as following on my return pipes of my display tank I have filter socks. For my other tanks I don't use them to keep some bioload in the tank to feed my live stock.
In the sump I have an ATI 250 IS power cone Skimmer doing his work perfect. I have a Skimz fluid reactor for NP biopellets, dit reactor for phosphate remover and a BBM fluid reactor for active carbon.
I use ozon for my Skimmer in very low value. This only for better skimming performance not for raising redox to an higher value.
I use also a helix UVC reactor.
For temperature control I use Resun chiller, Tunze fan control and Jager heaters.
To keep Kh, calcium and magnesium levels in balance I use a Shuran jetstream calcium reactor.
For trace elements I use a profilux 4 head dosing unit. One with strontium one magnesium when needes one with element mix. Number 4 is empty. Thise elements are all from qfi.

Streaming in my tanks areas follow
Display tank
Tunze 6085, 6065 and wave box
Vortech Mp10
Red dragon 5000

Algae tank
Koralia nano
Aquabee 1000

Frag tank
Vortech Mp10
Tunze 6055
Eheim compact 3000

Lightning is vortech radion.

Tank computer is profilux 3ex

This is the basic of my setup of my 290 gallon system.

Nice Brother!
Question, if you run that large system mainly rimless and radions as your lights, why do you use a chiller?
I saw that you live Holland/Netherlands, it doesn't get that hot over there in order to run a chiller!
Where in Holland your from?

I am from the south of Holland... The reason I use a chiller is because my temperature is controlled by my profilux. I have a temperature difference of 1.5 degree with night and daytime. That's the reason that I use a chiller.

Everyone thanks for the nice thumbs up for my reef tanks.
The only thing I can say is trying and doing... I had to fall and stand up many times to get what I have now and still I have issues going on in my tank what I can't understand completely. But that keeps the hobby interested.

Today my yellow tang went to fish heaven... Why I have no clue yesterday still eating and swimming happy around and today bye bye...
GR Michel

that reactor is awesome! how often you test for strontium? you notice a difference when you dose it?
