Started a 75 gallon mixed reef over a year ago. After stumbling my way into learning a thing or two I have made some progress on keeping nutrients and major elements in check. Pictures and videos to follow
 
As promised here are some current pictures of the reef. It's nothing special quite yet. Lighting is done with two Radion XR15 Blues. Set at 100% they provide about 150 par at the top of the rockwork. I measured this with an Apogee par meter. Flow is provided by one Vortech MP40 set to tidal swell at 50%. I don't know the name of the other powerhead I've had it forever. Filtration is with 7 inch filter socks. Reef Octopus protein skimmer. Eshopps Aqua-Fuge sump. Refugium with chaeto being lit by two Cheato grow lights. Overall pleased with the progress I've made so far. I have a lot to learn still.
