This was my tank prior to the marine velvet fiasco that forced me to tear the tank down today.
Tank is a 125 gallon long with a 30 gallon refugium and a 20 gallon sump. I have around 150 lbs of live rock covered with somewhere around 40 different types of coral ranging from zoas to some pretty awesome milles.
Equipment
Reef octopus 150 skimmer
4 Onyx dimmable led lights
2 jebao wp25 pumps
2 hydor korelia pumps
Apex controller w/ 2 EB8, 2 VDM
My fish are now in QT for velvet treatment. Assuming they all survive the treatment, this is my stock list
False Percula Clown
Mandarin Goby
Flame Angel
Blue Tang
Yellow Tang
Melanarus Wrasse
Carpenter Wrasse
Chalk Basslet
2 Blue/Green Chromis
Wheeler Goby
Tiger Pistol Shrimp
Skunk Cleaner Shrimp
Coral Banded Shrimp
Peppermint Shrimp
Assortment of various snails and hermits
As with any Apex owner that is also an engineer, I have my tank setup to do some pretty sweet things. I simulate both the spectrum and intensity changes of a natural sunrise in the ocean with simulated random cloud cover during the day. I simulate both seasonal and dirunal temperature fluctuations, but I have narrowed the swings by a tad to improve sps growth. I simulate natural tide patterns while maintaining random flow and waves at all times. I also have a rediculous array of failsafes and alarms that make my tank about as close to crash proof as one can get with technology (at least after I get a UPS and emergency generator).
