here are a few pics of my setup, the tank is a 125 Reef ready with dual over flows the sump is a amiracle Maxi Reef 400 with a Kent marine Nautales TE powered by a Mag 7 the return pump is a Mag 24 pushing water throught 1" line to the 36 watt 12X UV light and a 3/4" line going to one return and another 3/4" line going to the JBJ Arctica 1/3HP chiller and then returning to the tank. that pretty much sums things up at this point.

do you think the bio balls are necessary?

Boy this is a tough one to answer. i ran this system for 1 1/2 years with the towers full of bio balls then removed almost all of them the other are only for noise control and no problems yet and it's been 7 months i've only added the chiller, UV and bigger return pump in the last month. the UV has done good looking for ill affects at this point and the chiller i just turn up tonight since my tank temps with the uv and bigger pump went from 82 to 86 :scared:
