Hey Darylb the tank looks great! Your post caught my eye with "sumpless". So you have no canister filtration as well? I have a 400L AquaReef 400 but bought a spare 250L cube ' in case of emergency ' but am itching to set it up now with my new HOB protein skimmer and 2800lph canister with uv...seeing them in my wardrobe is so wasteful when there is so much potential with the cube lol

My 55g is run the same way. No sump, just my Reef Octopus HOB, and it's doing great.
 
I bought the tank for a spare if anything went wrong with my DT and I needed to rehouse my livestock but I am hanging to set it up and make use of the filtration etc I bought. I had read that canisters were bad for nitrates and back flow if there was a power outage so haven't ventured down that path. Your tank looks awesome and has given me an extra push to go ahead and make something beautiful : )

Hmmmm thanks Macscale...will have to research more on that.....I would imagine plenty of LR in the DT would be the filtration...just add flow and a skimmer.....
