I am planning a larger system and hoping to start a thread so myself and others can learn from the mistakes and strokes of genius of other hobbyists.


What are the best and worst things you have done for your large tank?

Best: Floor drain, makes maintenance so much easier.

Worst: unlimited RODI top off water. Skimmer overflowed down the floor drain and dropped the salinity wiping out all SOS in the tank. SG was around 15 ppt.

How big of a UV did you go?
57 watts, running at around 600 Gph (a bit more than half of what it's rated for with parasites). So I'm probably exposing things to close to 150,000 µw/cm2 of UV radiation.

Pulling all nutrients with new refugium and getting dinos causing a lot of SPS $ to go down drain
