I have been reefing now for about 6 years. I started out with a small nano tank:

Then, bought an ELOS mini:

I had an ADA shallow reef for a bit:

I then upgraded to an ELOS system 70:

And finally I took delivery of a new ELOS 120XL:

Delivery:

I decided that I needed a false floor inside the sump:

So I decided to build one using MDF and some cushioning material:

And then covered it in wood flooring:

Installed:

And then the sump/electric:

Up and running:

Wow! really nice! love your sand bed and your sump refugium! I almost went with an ETSS but ordered a Trigger system Ruby instead!
 
Beautiful setup my friend.
 
Wow WOW WOW! Beautiful tank and corals! Sweet!
 
All of your past aquariums were beautiful, but this one definitely takes the cake! I'll be following this one, however, we need more pictures and details!

Pics will continue. What details are you seeking??
 
Got a few questions for you, hope you don't mind.

1. What camera are you using to take the photos?
2. What brand and combo of T5 tubes are you using?
3. What are your nitrate and phosphate levels?

Many thanks. This is such a beautiful tank and the photography is awesome. Would love to see more sps shots.
