Yea, I haven't decided what to put on it. It has a few mushrooms on it right now. Some cool zoas would be sweet.

That is CLEAN! Good job Chris

Tomorrow i plan on ordering my skimmer(reef octopus nwb-150), a new 14k bulb(phoenix), 300 watt jager heater, and a 200 watt jager heater. I gotta replace the heater in this tank and the one in my tropheus tank. Hopefully the new bulb will be a touch bluer. I cant wait to get my skimmer set up, been kinda stressing me out not having one lol. Only equipment after that is the ATO and maybe some dosing pumps. Then i can finally start to work on the livestock...

Nice setup Chris! What is your plan for corals? A zoa or acan garden could be awesome.

Go with a bigger skimmer!

I ran the octopus-300 and it was a beast on my 30g

Thanks, idk yet. Probably a mix reef. Mostly softies and LPS with a colony or 2 of SPS

Man I wish, I think the nwb-150 will do just fine.

[nightster]

I'm looking at the nwb-200, not too bad. I just don't know if it'll fit in my sump and if i can justify spending the extra money...

The 110 is a champ on my 40g... I would think the 150 is enough for yours.

That was my initial thought too. Just guessing though, the total volume of my system is closer to 90 gallons. My sump is almost as big as my DT. My fuge is housing probably 15ish pounds of live rock, plan on adding more. Was also thinking about putting some mangroves in the DT but idk might look tacky. Plus idk how the mangroves will react with the seams of an acrylic tank. I know with glass tanks they will dig into the silicone with their roots and cause leaks...
