Water Flow and Filtration
The 55g display tank sits ontop of an iron stand. It holds 115 lbs LR and 100 lbs LS. An over the side overflow box feed so the 20g SeaLife acrylic sump. In the sump is a 100w Heater and a protein skimmer. A Mag 950 returns from the sump directly to the display tank while a MAG 350 pumps water from the sump to the 20g Refugium located on top of the entertainment center directly to the right of the display tank. The refugium holds 25 lbs LR and 80 lbs LS and gravity feeds from an over the side overflow box to the display tank.
Lighting
250W metal halide with 20k bulb 16" over center of display tank.
30" JBJ power compacts over refugium (not sure of the wattage?)
