Started this build back in July and am finally getting around to posting a build thread. Plan is to go 100% SPS. Please excuse the blue photos I will be working on a solution (iPhone App or getting a DSLR).

Return: Neptune COR-20 with split Vivid Creative Aquatics Random Flow Generator
Skimmer: NYOS Quantum 120
Reactors: Tank is hard plumbed with 2 outlets on manifold. Using XS Aquamaxx Media Reactor that will run Carbon or GFO occasionally

Debating whether a Purple Tang will be too much and may add another Wrasse or two of I don't add one
Corals
Planning on beginning stocking these once I am happy with parameters / stability. Likely doing a first order in early January
