I love your tank. You are doing a great job at breaking most of the rules I was taught about keeping a reef. Could you give me a few more details about your system?

I was wondering if you are using any circulation or wave generating pumps in the display, if you use a skimmer and how big it is, filter socks, carbon, GFO, what kind of maintenance schedule you have as far as water changes and general cleaning.
Thanks!

Grab chair while I elaborate on this impressive 300g Crystal Reef Aquarium Starfire Glass Dream!
-Lighting is by 6 Gen1 ReeFi. Getting upgrades this weekend, look for Reefi Duo Extremes!
-Return pump is a Reeflo hybrid Hammer/barricuda 6000gph. Yet the Apex flowmeter averages 1800gph. The return is T to two 1" Y locklinks to spread flow direction on the peninsula. I also have a Icecap 3k Gyre to add the surge effect.
-Filtration is via an external Ghost Overflow Herbie/Durso that allows one drain to the mesh sock in Refugium sump section.
-Second and emergency drains to media drawer tower in primary sump section. Block sponges screen coarse material out. 2nd drawer holds bags of charcoal and phosban that are removed as nutrients drop within range.
-Skimmer section holds 300w Ehiem heater and secondary back up. Skimmer is a Eshoppe S300 that feeds to remote DIY Skimate Locker w/A-1 Tsnami Shut off control. Apex controlled drain too.
-Next section rock rubble zone to allow microbubbles to escape and provides copepods and amphopods to grow out.
-Jaebo doser supplies Balling method and heavy metal recipe.
-Tsnami A-1 ATO feeds from remote 65g drum and RODI 5 stage Dual membrane hack. This reprocess wastewater while doubling production of unit to 8gph.

Maintenance is 10-20% WC over the month. Refill of 1g Alk, 1g Cal, 1 Quart Mag.
-Skimate is purged 5g/wk and head cleaned biweekly.
-Ehiem auto feeder supplies TDO sm+lg pellet and Hikari seaweed blend pellet 2x day
-Froz mysis, Formula Two and 4" Prawn are soaked in Selcon and fed 2x week.

They look nice! What kind of par levels are you getting out of them?

 

[Aquanaut]

I have to borrow one, but likely getting >200 at the bottom. I have nearly no shadow cast with this coverage.
