Please no comments on BIo load this has been up and running for close to a year and all readings are ZERO.
Sounds like you got a great set up going! Keep up the good work.
If it weren't for some of us testing the odds here and there and experamenting from time to time the hobby never would be where it is today. Somethings work for some but not always for others its all up to the inhabitants, equipment and owners.

Did you guys look at the pic in the link? does it look like 1750+lbs of live rock???.
I never said he was lying , all i wanted to see was a pic because i was interested in seeing what 1250 hermits and 1500 snails looked like in a tank. Instead he started insulting everyone. But, with Sou's history and the fact that he cant post a pic showing anything like what hes describing, it makes me suspicious.
Prove me wrong and just post a pic, thats all i wanted to see anyway out of curiousity

Well to start off. SOU, you egged these people on, shame on you for that. You get what you deserved/wanted. The rest of the people that chimed in, shame on you. Why stoop to a lower level.
Seems pointless to me.

-- summed it up nicely. Have fun.....No need to beat the heck out of people.

Now that I have put my worthless 2 cents in, here is my list:
SOU's picture. If you look very close at the picture: you can see a bunch of hermits/snails(?) all over the place, as for the rock, you can not judge from that (or any) picture. Rock can be very pourous and some can be dense. I have 280lbs in my tank and it looks like I have 150lbs. SOU's tank is real nice and most would love to get their hands on such a setup/ good job. I would like to see some close up shots just to see. I one day would like to get a larger DT.

215 gal oceanic
35 gal trigger systems sump
Aqua C ev240 skimmer / Iwaki md40rlt
Main pump Dart sequence pump
Won brothers pro 350 heater
280lbs LR
200lbs LS
Coralife Aqualight Pro 72"
(1) 1 Mated pair of Gold Band
(2) 1 blue/green chromis
(3) 1 BTA
(4) 100 hermits
(5) 15 snails
(6) 3 turbos
(7) 1 Hammer
(8) 3 astrea snails
(9) 1 red emerald crab
(10) 1 tuxedo urchin
That about covers it.
Happy posting.

Hey Matty,
I originally bought a 30 gal sealife systems sump. When it came time for delivery, they did not have it in stock so they upgraded me to the trigger sump. Not a bad deal in the long run. It does the trick.

I also ordered their skimmer when I bought the package, but did not care for their design and was getting iffy reviews on performance. I ended up with the Aqua c based on design, performace and durability. I had a tough time getting it up and running but, it works great now. No regrets and I highly recommend their product. Here are some pics.
