Pics to follow but here's the info on my tank. Started in January of this year
180 RR Planet Aquarium w/ cherry 36" stand and custom canopy. Open top w/ BRS mesh netting to keep fish in.

36" crystalline trigger system sump danner 9 return pump reef octopus 160 skimmer 2 filter socks smart ATO with 10 gallon reservoir.
I dose BRS calcium alk with BRS dosing pumps 3min/ hr and 2.5min/hr respectively. Magnesium is manually dosed as I see fit/ remember to.

The tank is controlled and monitored by my apex system.

Lighting 3 kessil a360 WE and 2 2x39 t-5's one coral plus and purple plus. Kessils come on 7:15 ramp to 100% intensity 75% color at 10:15 and stay there until 7:00 then ramp back down until 10:15. T-5's turn on at 10:15 and turn off at 5:30.

I have a gyre generator and a jaeboo wave maker for flow.

I have a mixed reef with main focus on sps

I keep a fairly low nutrient system but employ heavy import heavy export feeding.
20 -25% w/c every two weeks using reef crystal salt I run a BRS dual reactor carbon is changed every water change GFO is changed about 3-4 water changes depending on visual algael growth.
