i have a 125g acrylic tank with 165lbs of mixed fiji and tonga rock and there is about 4 inches of aragonite sand. there is a built in overflow that feeds a 30g sump and a 20g refugium. the sump holds my euro-reef skimmer and a 200 watt titanium heater. the return pump is a rio 35hf which produces just about 1000 gph. i have two maxi-jet 1200 in each corner of the tank. the refugium houses some leafy and spagetti type macro. my lighting is 4 110watt VHO 2 atinics and 2 white. as of now the inhabitants are:
