Nice B. What color is the torch? Hard to tell from pic parts look green other parts orange haha. But the shape of the tentacles doesnt look like an aussie orange torch

The torch was called something along these lines: "Golden Purple tip Medusa Torch."

Well, it's been a while since I've been here. So.... on with the update, I will start with the new equipment first:

I started by sending my sump design to Rick at Synergy Reef:

And here is what was built, the new custom sump and two part containers:

And since I was having to tear down most of the tank to incorporate the new sump I decided to re-do the plumbing, add a algae scrubber here are the results:

Here is the sump in place and the plumbing:

And next was new lights, removing the canopy and, new rock work:

The lights are a Giesemann Infiniti fixture with 2-250 watt MH (XM 15K), 4-54 watt T5's (3-Giesemann Actinic+, 1-Giesemann Aquablue+) here are the lights hanging over the tank:

Then I added a second Ecotech Vortech MP40w and a battery backup:

I also had Rick at Synergy Reef make me an overflow cover to help keep salt spray off of the fixture and to clean up the appearance:

And then at the MTRC Frag Swap the Reef Shack had a new biopellet reactor and with the way the pellets were tumbling inside of the reactor with just a small Maxi-Jet pump had me sold and it was my first purchase at the swap. Its a "Bluefin Reactor by Triton Aquatics:"
