Hello! I have been on the forum for a little while but was too lazy to start my own build thread. I have been in reefing for a couple years and have SPS dominant for around 2 years.
I moved my current tank to my new house in December of 2016 and to say the least I had a ton of struggles on the way. I finally realized that most all of it was from adding random "supplements" and not doing water changes. Well then I made sure I do weekly water changes, MAKE SURE MY TDS is 000 and just keep things simple.
My system:
Standard 180g tank and stand
500 gallon sump and frag tank in basement
Lighting is 8x80w sunpower with 2 reefbrites
Skimmer is Bubbale Magus B12
Return pump is a reeflo (forget what but it is insanely powerful)
3 gyre 150 and a PP15 and OW-50
Calcium Reactor
Kalk doser
KHG controlling and monitoring alk
Cheato in the middle section of my sump
FTS Feb 2020
