After about a year of operation of my 125Gallon Mixed Reef, I feel I owe it to fellow reefers, newbies and oldies, to try and document much of the work I did to set-up my reef, for others to learn, and for others to add creative criticism. I have learned so much from other reefer that I want to also contributed to the collective knowledge on this forum.
Here is my Equipment List:
Custom Tank 125 Gallon 48 X 24 X24
Reefugium Sump 48L X 24W

Water Flow:

Tunze ? (2) 6000 Streams

I just love flow.
Water Cooling:

I use 10k for growth and blue light supplementation to bring out coral pigments. I was surprised to see how bright the tank look when I fired these bulbs. Sps seem to like this set-up too!!!
