Thought I will share the progress what I'm currently working on in my living room.

Got it up and runnning in December 2016. Started with 150lbs of pukani dryrock that has been cycled in Rubbermaid trough since August 2016.

Display is 240 gallons 8ftx2ftx2ft Staphire glass.
Sump is fed into my basement by two 20" reef synergy overflows...55 gallon trough tank that drains into 150 gal trough.
Filtration is reef octopus 200int skimmer and a algae turf scrubber.
Lighting is four Gen 3 radions and supplemented with t5s.
Flow is provided by two gyre xf250's.

Every fish first goes into a 55gal quarantine (treated with copper and Prazipro) before it goes into display.
Corals and inverts will be spending 10 weeks in a 20gal quarantine.

Who needs TV??? That is awesome :)
 
Ha. I definately spend more time watching the tank than TV. Main reason why I don't even have cable. Tank is actually saving me money on that aspect.
 
Week 12:
All my tester corals are doing well. Have 10 new frags coming in tomorrow.
Diatoms are still there, but on their way out.

Saw your tank in another post and just had to check it out here. Your setup is amazing!
 
Awesome set-up, I love the mantle over the tank. I can't wait to see everything fill in!
 
Still coming along.
