Nice... Let's get this going....

My current reef tank has a 30 gal tall and a 20 gal long acting as a refugium. I currently run a JEBO protein skimmer that puts out more skimate than most other skimmers I've seen and at $30 shipped it was a steal. For lighting I run a 250W 20000 Kelvin XM bulb with 4 75W ushio actinic bulbs and 6 T5's current USA (3 10000 K and 3 Actinic bulbs.) on the display. A TOPs fixture with 2 65W 50/50 PC bulbs for one fuge and another T5 10000K for the other fuge.

As a return pump I use a Mag 9.5 pump connected to a SWCD (squid) on 1 in plumbing.

I also runa Natureef doser for Alk and Cal and An Current USA 1/3 Hp chiller to cool that monstrocity of lighting that's blaring down on my display. LOL

Oh and I'm using a 25W pentair UV sterilizer also.

I was under the impression you aren't supose to use a UV sterilizer on a reef. I had posted on another forum that I was going to put one in. Everybody told me not to.
