My Sumpless 40Br Mixed Reef Tank. Set up since August 2012 (Moved from SC), most corals have been with me for about a year prior to the move.

Tank: Aqueon 40BR

Stand and Canopy: The stand is a nice entrance piece of furniture and the "half-canopy" and fixture cover was made by me.

Controller: Apex Jr. (Without Display, I use my iPhone 5/Computers to monitor the tank) + Apex VDM for LED dimming.

pH Monitor: Milwaukee SMS112

Light: RapidLED parts giving me 20 X Royal Blue, 14 X Cool Whites, and 2 X Moonlights.

Sand: Reef on the Rocks Aragonite + Large Particle Aragonite (Mix is 4:1)

Rock: Reef on the Rocks

Water Movement: 1 X Vortech MP10 (Yellow mode at about 1/2 power) + AquaClear 110 and another Power Filter (Described below).

Filtration: - AquaClear 110 housing a feed pump to a Phosban Reactor with 1/2 cup of BRS granular GFO. - Drs.FosterSmith Bio System Power Filter & Oxy Surface Skimmer (Use it as a mechanical filter plus carbon filtration (1/2 cup per week), without the surface skimmer).

Fish Feeder: Used when on Vacation, hand feed when I am home.

ATO: BRS Doser (50ml/min) used in custom set up (7G tub that is hidden). (I use Kalkwasser)

----------------------------------------*----------------------------------------*---------------------

Changes:

- Took off one of the Vortech MP10's... don't feel like I need it and it was making the clam angry.

- Majorly pruned the tank.

- Removed Ricordia garden rock and added a Baby Blue Squamosa Clam.

- Added Blue Staghorn coral (Bottom left) and a mixed color Hammer (With the Frogspawn).

- Finger Leather has been removed to make space in the tank.

- Green finger leather removed.
 
Easily one of the best tanks ive seen in awhile. Very simple, but very nice!
