I started this tank about 3 years ago with rock and equipment from previous tanks and I added and replaced equipment as needed along the way. It started out as kind of a Frankenstein setup but eventually turned out pretty nice. I'm very happy with how it is now and I've settled in pretty well to what I think is a good maintenance schedule. That all being said I decided to start a thread for this tank to track changes and growth rates and get input from my fellow reefers.

System is as follows
Red sea reefer 350 mixed reef
75 gallon display 15 gallon sump
Arid N18 chaeto reactor
Eshopps S120 skimmer
2 FX250 gyre pumps running
Reef octo varios 6 return pump
Aquatic Life hybrid T5/LED fixture running 2 kessil A360WE all blue 30% power 12 hours a day
2 ati blue+
1 ati actinic
1 ati coral plus
T5's on from 1pm to 6pm
Weekly 15 gallon water changes using Tropic Marin pro buffered to 9 dkh using ESV A&B
Dosing 14ML daily of ESV A&B via automated dosers

Current live stock
Pintail wrasse
Filamented flasher wrasse
Black leopard wrasse
Phatom clownfish
Snowflake clownfish
Firefish
Blue damsel
Orange serpent star
Various snails

Some recent changes made to the tank.

ICP tests showed consistently elevated amounts of aluminum so after some research I decided to remove the 3 year old marine pure block from my sump and clean the sump out due to the fact that the marine pure block had crumbled quite a bit.

Cleaned all sump equipment at the same time.
