Hey I just wanted to make sure everything in my tank is set up ok, and if anyone has any hints that would benefit my tank they would be greatly appreciated. The tank is a 75gallon tank with a 20gallon sump. There is about 50 pounds of live rock in the tank, and it has a sand substrate. I have 3 maxi jet 1200's and they pump out about 300 gph each. Also where the sump returns into the tank pumps out about 950gph. There is a siphon overflow box on the back and for a return pump into the tank I have a Mag 950. There is a protein skimmer on the sump, and it is a remora aqua C. For lighting I have the coralife delux Compact Fluorescent lighting, with moon lights. I have attached two pictures on of my sump and one of the tank. If you see anything that should be changed I would greatly appreciate it.
 
I would look in to increasing your flow in there. look at the hydor koralias, or tunze nannostreams. if your looking to keep some lps and softies id shoot for 2000gph+ range for total flow.

peace and gl
 
Agreed with adding more rock when you can...i could be off, but i noticed a potters angel and mandrin. They both prefer to pick off the rocks so that would make your tank mates happier. Plus, you run out of coral room as fast :p

good luck

lol i just noticed that the left side of your tank is haveing a pylogon clash...... and looks like the makers need to go back and talk to the CG crew.....

thats weird.. you see that. it looks like your tank is open on the side.
