Basement project underway. So far the CL returns and intake are in (I'm still undecided about my target gph because it may or may not be all sps). If I do go sps only, I'm considering the ReefDart throttled back, so I can tee off a section of return line to connect equipment and extras like nilsen reactor, skimmer, extra fuges, hospitals, etc...

The tank has a "glow" effect from the acrylic stand; I think I'll leave it barebottom and keep the look.

I am still planning the system but I'm probably going with a kalkreactor, protein skimmer, DIY-phyto-chambers, rotifer chambers, and a granulated activated carbon reactor teed off the CL loop. I'm all My Reef Creations.

The niche is going to be a high energy fore-reef with a mix of sps and anenomes, clowns, gobies and wrasses.
