Nice tank can you give us specs of your system?

Well I keep everything pretty simple, I have a 450 gallon display made by ATM in Las Vegas. Dual custom coast to coast rear overflows. My goal was to keep cost down with this tank so I went as low wattage on all of my equipment as possible. For returns I am running 2 rio 2100 pumps. Most of my flow comes from 2-6201 tunzie's and 4-6101 tunzies. I also have a maxijetmod and a Koralia 4 for added flow behind the rocks. Underneath the tank is one 40 gallon breeder sump with a heater and ATB skimmer with the airstar pump, and a 40 gallon breeder fuge filled with chaeto. For lights I am running 3-400 watt reeflux 12k bulbs along with 6-4ft t-5's for actinics. Pretty simple really. Low cost and it does the job. The tank is just only a year old. Ohh yeah I have a 30 gallon fresh water ATO tank that feeds into my kalk reactor.
