I have started a 150 gallon standard tank that I will be trying to use as a propagation tank and possibly a grow out tank if I get anything breeding. It has a 75 gallon sump that I will be going with a non baffled sump that will act as a refugium and there will be no skimmer. http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160518/4f1ae14d1693400c2f4ed9d62c643513.jpg

eBay lights I got for over the tank, they are full spectrum with a programmer

Any ideas or criticism welcome, the only thing that I wish I would change is the height of theta I I wish it was shorter but I had the tank already and figured iWork's use it for something instead of letting it sit in the garage.

They are the mcbridge LEDs, they were only 325 on an auction, I was hopping to keep a mixture of things in there
