So I am new to reef to reef, but have been in the hobby since 2005. I recently upgraded from my 65 gallon redsea max to a 100 gallon sps reef with s 26 gallon sump. My reef is controlled by an apex. I run two mp40s and two gen 3 radion pros for lighting. I am currently using a cad skimmer but may upgrade. I have two via aqua heaters, one on either side of the sump. I run a bubble magus dosing pump for Ca. And Alk. I also run gfo and bio bricks rather than live rock. I started the tank with dead sand and Real reef man made cycled rock. I use a jebao dc return pump and a smart ATO. The tank has automatic leak detection, salinity probe, temp probe and ph probe. An apple airport express sends the signs from my Apex wireless.i have an automated feeding system by Neptune systems and feed a crossover diet that feeds fish and corals through the auto feeder.
The tank is predominantly SPS but I also keep some Acans. As for fish, there are quite a few. 1 blue tang. 1 yellow mimic tang. 1 sail fin tang. A blue throat trigger. 8 blue chromis. 4 anthias. A pipe fish. Yellow eyed Kole tang. Cleaner wrasse. Orange back wrasse. Leopard Wrasse. and a Mandarin goby. There are a few peppermint shrimp and a cleaner shrimp as well as a long nose geometric hawk fish.

Thank you..still doing more modification. Waiting for the neptune DOS to come out so I can use it for automatic 2 gallon per day water changes
 
Sweet! I see your running radions. Do you use any of the templets from ESL or do you use a custom templet?
 
Cool, im using the radiant color templet on ESL. I started to notice good things when i hit 65%. A couple of weeks ago i tried to jump to 75%. I started to notice my Garf bonsai getting lighter in color.. So i took it down to 70% today. Other then that im pretty happy with that templet. Im running 2 Gen 3 pro's
 
So my other tank crashed a few days ago fro either the sea hare or an ammonia spike from removing some of the rock work. Lost a few fish but saved everything else. Lots of big water changes and it's just about back to normal.
