These pictures are actually 9 months old. Bean Animal peninsula, 3 sided low e glass. I have changed up the aquascape a little since these pictures. I normally do not post much, but have been in the hobby for a while now.

I try to keep it simple, and not try to make it harder than it is. This system has been going for 3 yrs now. Before that I had a 180g where most of the colonies were transferred from.

Some details:
Bare bottom
Bean Animal with full length overflow
Euro Braced (hated how rimless frag tank spilled water)
Apex
Alpha 250 skimmer with auto neck cleaner
Custom made 8" x 32" calcium reactor w/2nd chamber (holds over 60lbs of media)
Laguna Maxflo 2900 return on Sea Swirl
8 - RW20
Sea Sweep with Tunze 6105
Sump with 5" of sand and live rock
Occasional use of activated carbon
Stop using GFO a long time ago
2 - 400w 20k Radium on Galaxy selectable ballast
2 - Rapid Led blue DIY strip
4 - 24" Reefbreeders
3 - Kessil 360w
Instant Ocean salt
50 gallon water change every 2 weeks might sometimes go 3
Amino Acids supplement
Feed fish everyday Nori and auto fish feeder, frozen 2-3 times a wk
I tried different types of carbon dosing, currently no dosing at this time

Parameters:
Salinity 1.026
Alk 8-8.5
Calcium 390
Magnesium 1300
Potassium 400
Phosphate .06 - .09
Nitrates 10 - 20
Temp 76 - 78 in the winter, summer 78 - 82

I Almost forgot, I also have a 5' x 2' x 1' frag tank. Using 250w Radiums on it.
