well on the video that is me in the background playing the jazz flute.

The tank is 180 gallons. I upgraded from a 75 seven months ago. I have about 300lbs of LR. 250 of that is fiji the rest is gulf rock and keys rock from www.liverocks.com. I have a DSB- 160 lbs of carrib sea.
Lighting is PFO. one center 400w SE reeflux 10k and the outer halides are 250's 10k reeflux. I already have a dual 400 pfo, I am just waiting for my LFS to order my single 400 PFO so I can go all 400's. (The reeflux bulbs are great.) I also have two 5' VHO actinics 5' on an icecap 660
I have a 55g acrylic sump with built in fuge thats full of chaeto once again. I was using the probidio but I have stoped.
I use a enaly 300mg/hr ozone generator on a controller. I really like using ozone, it keeps the water clear and I have alot of fish. I use a Sea life systems downdraft skimmer rated for a 250 gallon tank. It has a beckett injector mod that makes it skim as well as any highline skimmer. ozone is injected into the skimmer.
supplements are added by a lifereef calcium reactor and I change a 25micron filter sock daily. Current is provided by a mag 36 return that is T-ed off 5 ways. The 5th T feeds the 1/4 hp chiller. I also have 3 seios two are 1500gph one is 1100gph.
The tank evap is replaced by a 55g top off container connected to a 100gpd RO/DI.

Livestock is 80% sps and 20% lps/SC. I have just gotten into sps about 3 months ago. I will post a pic when it was a SC tank.

Fish
blue head wrasse
2 yellow tangs
sailfin tang
orange shoulder tang
blue hippo tang
pink square anthias
dusky jaw
7 green chromis
trychincus(spelling) clown with 12" LTA
1 annoying stripe damsel
one clam

Thanks. I am thinking about lowering the flow level. My lps do not get the same PE as when I did not have the seios. What do you all think?
