This is a picture of my 210 which was set up about 8 weeks ago. The filtration includes a 100 gallon sump/refugium show before & present. Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated.

Short time I have been in this, I have learned that filtration is very important. The lifeguard merchanical, chemical filter, and sand filter, along with the 100 gallon sump/refugium have helped maintain water parameters, along with frequent water changes.

I was curing the the 150 lbs of live rock in plastic trash cans for 5 weeks prior to putting in the tank. I also took about half the water for the tank from my established tank and remainder was new water. I did loose a couple of really nice fish early, probably because I was in a hurry....

I added another 40 to 50 lbs to fill things out a little after the initial setup. Still needs a few more pounds to fill out right side of the tank.

Awesome tank...I'm only 15 so never to early to start dreaming. Do you have halides?

Custom built for me by The Aquarium Company.

They are great people to work with. They also built the stand, canopy and filtration cabinet

Can you get some more pics of your filters? The tall white ones. I am thinking of buying them. How do you like them? I am interested in seeing how you plumbed them in.

The cabinets look great. I was wondering how you went about hiding the Lifeguard setup.
Yeah, I love the lifequard system. Wish I had had my tank drilled so I could run that. I know I could probably use a HOB overflow, but not really wanting to try it without a drilled tank. Of course if all goes as planned, we'll have a 240 or so this time next year and it will be drilled.
My LFS has the commercial version of the Lifeguard system and I have found myself checking out that more than the fish on my last few trips.
