sorry in the sump i have an asm g3 skimmer a mag 9 return that is split in 2 and 2 600 gph rio powerheads in the display
yea its going to be a mixed reef, I want to do softies and polyps on one side and sps on the other. I plan to leave the middle pretty much an open sandbed like it is for corals and clams that require sandbed placement. I am still working on a fish list but Im pretty picky about the other fish I want.

very very cool i like ur idea of splitting up sps on one side and softies on the other then clams and maybe some nice lps in the center
u might wanna up the flow a lil though sps love flow i have 40x's turnover in my 180 and id put more if it didnt create a sand storm in my tank lol

yea I 'm planning on buying a couple more powerheads and adding a wavemaker/timer
mostly on the sps side of the tank.
I'm also going to supplement my MH lights with some 10k & actinic VHOs

That is really nice. I like the idea of having the clam bed in the middle. Where did you get the LR here in town with all those hitchikers!?
Hey, maybe they are just albino zoos.
