EQUIPEMENT/SETUP: a 75 gal tank (startup3/1/06) with: 100 lbs rock, Odyssea lights
2) 150W 10K HQ,(2)96W actinic,2 power heads, a Seio 820,and a Fluval 4 filter. The main tank drains to a 15 gal mud refugium on a reverse cycle,96W VHO and filled with Cheato algae. This tank overflows through filter fiber and into a 15 gal sump with an ASM (rated 200gal ) protein skimmer, and a Mag Drive 9.5 (800gph at 6ft) main pump which returns to the main tank through a 1/4 hp Pacific Coast chiller.
