A 155g All-Glass Bowfront, black, with dual overflows added. The reef was moved over to this previously existing FOWLR in Sept/01. The reef had previously been in my 72g since April/99.
The sump is actually a trickle filter with bio-balls removed. There is an in-sump Euro-reef CS8-1 powered by a Sedra 5000 pump.
The external pump is a Little Giant 4mdqx.
Six foot custom built canopy with 3 x 250w 12kk Sunburst bulbs, 2 X 55w PC White and 1 X 55w PC Actinic
There is one 250w Ebo-Jager heater, and one Rena 300w heater inside the sump. There are two Maxijet powerheads running in the
tank, and two small Hagens. There is a lot of current provided by the return flow as well.
The rock is mostly from Fiji. A lot of it was purchased locally, and some mail ordered (Canada). We estimate about 200 lbs of rock.
We use the TWP, it is the most economical for us. We keep salinity between 1.025 and 1.026. Using the AP TWP for DI water and Kent salt, 15% water changes are done regularly every two weeks, or if I sense something not right. No additives at this point in time.
