Before someone makes this into the reef tank version of blue man group, I vote full spectrum white lights!
Yes, let's go very simple setup.
Simple sump, no skimmer, a big refugium with macroalgae pipefish and seahorses like I seen one guy do it years ago.
For display lights let's do my favourite, a mix of metal halide and led so we can have nice white mh and a period of blue, because we are a community and we all need to enjoy it.
You guys put the fish and coral in the display let's house a mixed tank. I want dragons breath algae.

Reverse undergravel filter. :beaming-face-with-smiling-eyes:

That thing is even prior to some of the known people in the hobby. I have been thinking about it lately tbh and I wonder what the result would be if you have the return from sump on one of those bringing nice soft flow from the bottom and the circulation pumps doing the horizontal work. If you think about it looks kinda like a bare bottom approach regarding bacteria.

Let's imagine we, collectively, as R2R, could make a reef tank. You can put anything you want into the reef tank (equipment, the tank itself, decorations, livestock etc...). What is your contribution to the community reef tank going to be and why? Let's see what our tank would turn out to be!
