My Smaller Tub is a 80 gallon Hydroponics tub with a 20 gallon sump running filter socks, a Red Gracilaria Refugium and reef octo 150 skimmer, 2 200w heaters, a 12w UV sterilizer, ATO, and jebao 4 channel auto doser. I mix my own solutions for alk, calc, mag, my 4th channel doses amino acids.
My Larger Tub is a 120 gallon Hydroponics tub with a 35 gallon sump running floss baskets, a Red Gracilaria Refugium and same reef octo skimmer, 2 300w heaters, a 40w UV sterilizer, ATO, and a calcium reactor controlled by a old neptune apex. I run Ocean revive t247s on both systems. I use instant ocean salt and do 10% water changes weekly. I direct feed coral 2 times a week using reef roids or mysis shrimp, and feed fish daily. I run my water parameters as follows ALK 8.3, CALC 420, MAG 1440, PH 8.3, N03 20ppm, P04 .06ppm, Salt 1.026. Both systems run the same parameters and are checked weekly using hanna checkers and salifert test kits.
(EDIT) Both tubs are sitting on cinder block and plywood stands for simplicity.
