I was very lucky with the hurricane didn't even loose power, got some nice corals from WWC today that i added to the tank as well as changed the plumbing on the tank here are some pics
all this thanks to @sithrico who was kind enough to give me his layout

I like your setup. Is that a reactor that it goes to then flows back to the refugium back into the return flow section? If so what kind of reactor. I like that setup so much better than mine. I would totally redo, my reactor leaks and this looks like you can disconnect easier than what I can do in the refugium.

Glad you liked it Sith! and as i said thank you very much for the material list. I placed a UV sterilizer on the outside of the refugium so i don't have to worry about the UV sterilizer killing most of the Pods.

Hey bud how’s the tank? I’m having some cloudy water problems and need a UV sterilizer. What brand do you use? Maybe some better pictures as well? Thanks

Flameback Pair · Oct 22, 2017

At what stage of your build did you start running the UV Sterilizer? The reason I ask is I have an EXTREMELY bad red slime problem and was wondering if UV would help.

Hey guys sorry for the late response but I've been really busy getting ready to take my instrument rating written exam but here is a picture of the UV sterilizer i got its a lifeguard UV

I didn't really have any algae problems or anything i tried to be proactive and added the UV it goes from my return pump to the UV and then the refugium

Does the UV kill pods?

I haven't seen any drastic changes in the pod population to be honest
