I would love to see a picture of someone standing between the two tanks to get an idea of scale. I still can't choose between the two.

Do you find the H80 to be enough for your system over the refugium? I was using the same light on my previous tank, but I got a reefer 350 this week and I was contemplating moving to something more powerful this time around.

If you had a redo on the choice of refugium light, what would you pick?

Hey James!!!! On my setup I am running a Brightwell N03 Brick as well.... With the combination... My Nitrates are currently Zero and my Phosphates are 0.02.. My Chateo grows just fine... I am going to increase my feeding to and cut back the amount of time the light stays on.
If I had to redo... I probably wouldn't use to Brick and see if the Chateo can handle the Nitrates on their own..

By the way, with both of those tanks on that wall along with the light systems you are using they give you a very sleek appearance. Looking at the chandelier it doesn't flow with the appearance of those tanks, how is the rest of the room decorated?

The setup I was considering is very close to yours. Thanks for the insight. I’ll definitely use it. :)

You have a great setup. I also have a Reefer 350 V3, however I have a few questions.

What are you dosing? I have a DOS pump and I am only dosing Red Sea Calcium and Alkalinity.
I was told that dosing near the return pump would clog up the Core 20. I am dosing in the first chamber where the water enters the sump. Is there any downside to this?
I will continue to follow closely as I have a long way to go to get to your level.

Thank you very much!!! I am actually dosing Triton Core 7 "Other Methods". I am dosing in the first chamber as well... I decided to do it there as well because that's the highest flow area of the sump.
