Wanted to share my Planet Aquariums 210g 4' reef.

Been setup for a couple years now and starting to really fill out. The tank was designed by myself and Bill Brown, owner of Custom Reef Creations in Moore Oklahoma (local to me). Tank is 4'x34"x30" tall. Lit by 4' dimmable ATI T5 fixture with two DIY led 4' heat sinks with 14 LEDs on each.

Filtration is a BAO 30" sump, SRO 3000XP External skimmer.
Flow is handled by a Reeflo Dart pump attached to an OM 4 Way and 4x1" returns. In the tank are two Tunze 6095s with the wide flow mod.

Tank is heated by two titanium heaters, 300 and 150 watt, and is cooled by a JBJ 1/3HP chiller (when needed).

LED pics for now, I have cleaning to do before i share daylight pics ;)

Gorgeous.

Thanks!

Sorry for the LED pics, lights coming on and I've got some glass and sand cleaning to do before I post more photographs. Cant wait to see some of these pieces grow out!
