Default ~450 gallon reef setup
Well, this system has been almost a year in the making. Here is what I have and the progress so far.

I have a 220 gallon (72x30x24) and a 150 (48x24x30) that will be plumbed into a sump located in a small "fish room". The 220g will go along my back wall and the 150g will go behind my bar.

Equipment list:
Tanks:
220g (72x30x24) - Starphire front and sides, bean style overflow along back, eurobraced, back of tank painted black.
150g (48x24x30) - Starphire front, back, side, Herbie (or Durso) overflow, eurobraced.
Sump (60x30x18) - Divided into Skimmer, Refugium, Return

Other:
- x2 Pacific Sun Black Python 160w LED (for 150)
- ATI 10x80w Powermodule (for 220)
- Profilux 3 Ex (pH, ORP, Salinity, Temperature) - Auto top off
- Profilux 5 breeze fan
- Profilux 3SA doser
- x3 PAB powerbars
- Profilux LED touch screen (ordered should be in by end of May)
- Vertex Alpha Kone 300
- Water Blaster HY5000 (return for 150)
- Blueline HD40x (return for 220)
- x2 300w Heaters
- x3 MP40's
- x2 VT battery back ups
- Profilux Vortech Module

Stay tunned for some photos!!!!

Hi,

Welcome, seems like you're going to be busy. Looking forward to seeing some pics. With that light I sense some nice SPS

Where in your home is all this going and what do you consider a 'small fish room'

I am not sure how to post photos on this site, so I am sorry that my photos have the AP signature on it. Maybe someone can direct me on how to upload via the CanReef site.
