What has changed? The Prop tank and fuge have been replaced with a 40 gallon mixing bin. The sump has been drilled for an emergency drain, making water changes almost automatic and very painless. Skimmer is now a BK180. The back of the tank was drilled for the return making it look much cleaner than over the top. The RO unit is plumbed to the mixing bin and tank directly. The rest is pretty much the same, the idea was to make this tank very easy to maintain. I have also replaced the nanostreams with a MP40.

Nice looking setup! Making water changes quicker and easier is never a bad idea. Easier is always better.

It was going to be a easy reef tank (less demanding corals), but the further along I get more and more acros, millis, montis etc. keep ending up in my tank. Oh and they are imperator angels but they have been removed.
