Here's the setup:
24g Aquapod
Oceanic BioCude Skimmer
Penguin BioWheel filter
150w 14K HQI Metal Hallides

2 Black and White ORA Occ. Clownfish
Cleaner shrimp
Mushroom, small colony of zoanthids, xenia which is retracting for some strange reason
Cheato

Well this setup has solved my algae problem with so much filtration which is a nice change.
I'm hoping when my 125g finally sells and after Christmas (get some spending cash) to set up a frag rack and get some nicer zoanthids and an acan frag with a 20K bulb for my lighting.

Any suggestions on hardy corals would be nice. I'm not a big fan of SPS but like LPS though they are pricey, Zoas and some softies. Also I'm thinking of getting another fish so suggestions are welcome. Can't be a jumper though.

Here's are some pics of the tank from today.

why is your sunpod on the tank sideways?

The sump itself was not enough filtration for me so I added the skimmer and hang over filter so the lights were pushed back too far. THe sump was getting more light than the corals up front so I moved the light like that. I can't for see any problems and the tank looks a lot better now that it's well light.

interesting set up. i have the tunze skimmer set in the back overflow and dont have any problem with putting my sunpod the correct way. might have to worry about coral placement with the light that way has it looks like you have a shadow on the sides of the tank.
