Here is my 240 gallon reef tank that is probably one of the most simple setups on here.
-Tank 240 gallon tall (6ft made by glass cages)
-Lighting 4 x 175w metal halides with 15k xm single ended bulbs w/ individual reflectors.
-Circulation- I am using 2 koralia 4's, 1 maxijet 1200 with sureflow mod (large white prop) and 1 koralia 6 Magnum.
-Filtration is 2 rubbermaid totes. Water drains from display into first rubbermaid tote that has a hole cut into it at 8 inches. This tote houses my MSX 250. The tote that the skimmer is housed in is inside another larger tote that has liverock, Chaeto, and my return pump (mag 12). I also have a tlf phosban reactor hanging on the side of the tote. This setup is Ghetto but it is so simple and hassle free.
I don't exactly know how much live rock I have because I sold off a bunch to create a more open aquascape (I am guessing about 200lbs).
My fish list is as follows
-Emperor angel (juvi changing) killed my favorite brain coral (see pic)
-Blue throat triggerfish (female)
-Hippo Tang
-Sailfin Tang
-Midas Blenny
-Dusky Wrasse
-False Perculas
This is a mixed reef but I am limited do to the Emp angel.
I bought this setup on the list of Craig, it came with a wet/dry filter and the lighting and a handful of fish for $1000 (minus the skimmer).
