[deralps1]

Specs.
3 Tanks. 40 Gal. dump into a 30 Gal. dump into a 80 Gal. Sump/Refuge.
40 Gal.
LPS reef with LS, LR, 2 False Percs, 2 cleaner wrasse, 2 firefish, 1 Lobo, 1 bubble coral, 1 blue tunicate, 2 candy frags, 2 devils hand frags, 2 starpolyps, 1 torch coral. Lighting is 4 x 55w PC 2 T5 actinics. 1 100w heater. current is the return from the two RIO 2100 in the refuge.
30 Gal.
It will be a SPS tank with clams when I get my 250w MH 20K. LS, LR, 1 butter fly, 1 powerhead.
80 Gal. refuge/sump is the lowest third tank. It has LR, LS, and spagetti algea, calerpa, Halimeda, red kelp, 2 mangroves, and 1 christmas tree wrasse. Lighting is the sun thrsough sliding glass doors and 3 flours. It also has the two 200w heaters, 2 powerheads, and a backpack skimmer.
The 2 overflows have been modified with some teeth being removed and a 2nd siphon in each. I hope you all enjoy. Also any advise on the calerpa would be appreciated . I heard it does something weird like going sexaul.
Thanks for any positive feedback.

I hope you all like the setup so far. Tommorrow I will build a stand to put the 30 Gal higher than all the tanks, and the sump/refuge under it. If anyone has any questions or comments please feel free.

[stapler]

thats the first time I have seen the bigger tank used as a refuge. Wouldnt you rather have a 80g display?
Overall things look good!:yes:

 

[latino277]

why the 2 cleaner wrasse's??? Aren't they really hard to keep alive??

Purity: Thanks for stopping by, and thank you!
Stapler: I feel that with a larger refuge (over double the two small tanks) I will have much healthier reef tanks in the long run. I will basically have 155 Gal. of biological filtration power in 75 Gals of display reef tanks. This will allow me to have much more room for error and also to really load up the display tanks if I wanted to. THanks for the comments!
Latino277:The two cleaner wrasse I have are in the 40 Gal. together. I have had them for a few months now together and it almost seems like they are a mated pair. One is smaller than the other and it looks like the smaller one stays by a certain area, and the larger forges out. The have maintained what appears to be great health the whole time, but my levels of everything are alway in check. So, to answer your question, no.
Unlike what SWF says, they appear to be fairly easy far as I have seen, they appear to be. Thanks for the comment!
Thanks for stopping by everyone and please stay tuned for more images comming up later this week of the new setup!
