So I have been messing in the reef hobby for over 30 years now! Not telling my age! I have had many tanks over the years from a 200 gallon to 10 gallon. I have to say my favorite is my 80 gallon reef which I am currently revamping! I run (4) AI Vega lights connected to a Neptune Apex controller. I run (2) Tunze 6105 controllable power heads. My refugium is a Trigger Emerald 39. I use an Aquamaxx Cone S Q-3 In-Sump Protein Skimmer. I also use a Reef Octopus Bio-Pellet reactor. I have (2) bags of Chemi-Pure Blue and (1) large bag of Phosguard! I keep a variety of reef rock in the main display and use Marine-Pure in the refugium. I used live sand in main display and some rubble rock in the refugium. I run (2) 1.1 ml BRS Dosers with Alkalinity and Calcium. I use the B-Ionic buffer system through the two Dosers. I run a coral life uv from a previous 200 gallon tank. I know it's a little over kill on the uv but why not use it if I have it?? I also have a Tunze ato using a Kalk stirrer. Ph, calcium and alk seem to stay fairly steady this way! I change my filter socks about once a week and water changes every 2 weeks. I do about 30 gallons of water at change time! I use Sicce pumps for the bio-pellet reactor and main tank pump. This tank has been running about 2 years but about 2 months ago I had a system crash while away on vacation. So I am in the process of acquiring frags and regrowing again! Ugh... Lol. Anyway I will try to keep up with the progress. Cheers! (Pictures to come soon)
Nice sump area.
