After 2 years, I decided to finally put up my build since there is something to actually look at now :). I will provide more details over time as I get the time to put things together here. I have been in the hobby since the late 90s where I did a 450 gallon. Things have sure changed since the 90s LOL.

I am all about automation and there is virtually nothing I do manually unless there is an actual need.

Basic specs:
180 gal peninsula (Crystal Dynamics)
Custom stand, hood and cabinetry (Crystal Dynamics)
70 gallon sump (Advanced Acrylics)
20 Gallon refugium with a Kessel Refugium light
Main circulation - Ecotech L1 (customized to work with Apex)
Flow pumps - Closed Loop (2x Royal Exclusiv Red Dragon 3 150w), 2 Tunzes all controlled by Apex
Computer: Apex with about 6 modules and 3 custom breakout boxes
ATO: Spectrapure Litermeter
Auto Water Changes: Genesis Reef
Auto Testing: Alkatronic, Reefbot
Auto Feed: Custom Feeder refrigerator (Reef Nutrition) and Neptune Feeder
Skimmer: Procal MVX - uses a regular pump (Yea) with a Avast neck cleaner and Avast waste container
UV: Aqua Ultraviolet
Dosing: GHL Dosers (trace elements, coral amino acids and food) and Dosetronic (4 part Core 7)
Lighting: GHL Mitras 7206s
