New 225 Setup with Aquascaping Focus

[TheReefGeek]

Sounds like you know your reef shizzy, the design sounds really good to me. I like open aquascaping as well, with lots of open sand.

Couple ideas/suggstions to build a "dream tank" IMO:

I would go to 400w bulbs seeing as you are going 30" tall.

Are you restricted to putting stuff under your stand? If not there is lots more you could do, frag grow out tank, seperate fuge, etc.

For equipment, I would add in a Coralife Turbo Twist UV, and a calcium reactor with a Milwaukee controller. Get the ORP/PH controller and you could add Ozone for water clarity too. In order of importance I would go UV, then calcium reactor, then Ozone.

I would also incorporate and auto top off system with automatic RODI control.
