Hello, we have a 120 gal saltwater reef with a 75 gal prediator tank attached to a 75gal sump. Have been into saltwater for 3 years now. We have upgraded from a 75 gal reef with a 50 gal sump.
Sump that both tanks are running off is drilled, (though holes arnt being used) 7f gal, holding approx 50 water, with 3 compartments one being the refuge, second being holding rock and pumps for return and reactors, and third being the overflow from both tanks with skimmer
We currently have 10 three foot t5 white bulbs, (5 on eachside) they are 12k. 60w bulbs. With vertex blue LEDs (4 foot) as lighting
Flow is Medium to High, mostly medium with 2-1400 fans
The 120gal tank is custom build by my boyrfriend. Its basicly a 180 cut down, 6feet x 2foot x 18 inches high. Along with both stands hand built by my boyfriend.
We keep out Salinity at 1.025-1.028, Temp at 77.5. We run a Reef Keeper Elite. Vertex180 Insump Protein Skimmer, Bio Pellet Reactor and Carbon+GFO Reactor. Its an overflow setup. With pumps of 396 and 1056 returning to both tanks.
Also a refuge with macroalgae growing and Miracle Mud... The tank is filled with bug life We have our lighing times for Whites (12pm-9pm) blues (11am-11pm) with refuge set for (9p-12pm) (opposite)
