Im wishing id had my 30 gallon set up for a sump and drilled before i cycled and put anything in it, but will just keep it in mind for future tanks, lol How long have you all been in the hobby for. Crazy how much so many of you know since their is so much to remember long term with these tanks.
The tank is drilled and connected to a 20gal rubbermaid tub sump. In the sump I've got an aqua C urchin Pro skimmer (really over sized for this tank but I already had it before I set up the tank), ATO float valve and heater. The return is a Mag 7 that pushes through a SCWD to two return jets in the tank. The salinity, temperature and cleanliness of the tank stays very constant.

I've been doing saltwater for 5 years.

I used to light this tank with a 10K 65W Coralife PC. After I switched the tank looked much brighter and I noticed the big pink leather opens up far more often now.
