Well here it is guys this is my 56 gal truvu. Its 36X15X24 I could only go with a tank that was 36 in long do to wall space in our new house. The stand, canopy and sump are all DIY. Sump is made out of a 20 gal glass aquarium. I am using a digital aquatics reef keeper elite to monitor and control. I am running a coralife skimmer and a Ca reactor (which is on its way back after replacement) This is my first attempt at a ca reactor. I have always used kalk in the past.

I have 65 lbs of Fiji which appears to have spent to much time in shipping as it is taking some time to color back up. I have to MJ’s with alge free mag and mod for flow. Turn over is around 48 times per hr.

I had two sundial pendants that I removed everything from and put into my current canopy. This includes 2-150w 10k hqi’s and 4-39w PC’s.

Here are a few pic’s of the tank and livestock.
