Stu's 24 AP with 25 Gallon Sump

[nickxp]

I am pretty new to this but figured I would start a thread to show progress. I am about 6 months in with my 24 gallon AP with 250 watt 14,000k Phnx bulb in a lummax3 with internal return Rio 1100. I have a custom made HOB over flow with 1" Uline running into a 1" bulk head. This feeds my 25 gallon sump/Fuge... I am running a 12" power compact on over the Fuge that I build in the sump.. Also have a 10,000 K Daytime T-5 over my live rock in the fuge.... I am running currently a stock Octo 150 in my sump with a Mag 5 return line. In tank 3 Korali Nanos, 2 in the show tank and one in the rear chamber to stir flow into the overflow uline. Here are some Pics. Any advice is always welcome...

How long have you had that Gorgonian (i think that's what it is?)

About 2 months..... Was struggling until I raised my Ca level up to to about 430..... Now it has beefed up nicely
