My 55 gallon reef

[Hitman]

I have a 55 gallon DT with a 40 gallon breader for a sump. For a total of 60-65 gallon of saltwater The center 80% of the sump has 20lbs of live sand and started with a golf ball size of chaeto. I started with a par 38 grow light led over it but say no results so it got switched out with a 300 watt mars hydro grow light. Within 3 weeks the chaeto grow to the size of a basketball. I also have a BRS reactor with 2/3 BRS 0.8 Carbon and 1/3 BRS GFO ran by a sicce 1.5. I have a Eshopps 1800 hob overflow into the sump and the new sicce sdc 9.0 return pump. For DT lighting I have 2 48" ATI T5 bulbs 1 Blue + and 1 True Attnic and a 48-60" Current USA Marine LED light. I've had my share of ups and downs but I'm sticking with it lol.

How are your clows getting along?

Just fine. Not a single issue. They were all put in the tank at the same time and all came from different tanks from my lfs.

Nice! What are your nitrates at usually?

 

[Hitman]

Between 2 - 5 ppm

It’s been a while from my last update. This tank has been converted to a refugium for my 240.
