Let the games begin! Quick run down of my system:

Tank(s): 210G (84x24x24) & 50G (24x24x20)
Sump: Custom monster sump built by the local acrylic guru Matt Dudley (79x20x15) with an ATI Powermodule 4x39w T5 fixture over the "refugium" area.
Lights: Aquactinics Constellation 5 strips of T5 (39w x 10) & 2 strips (4 36" LED bars retrofitted) on the 210G and Ecotech Radion G3 Pro over the 50G.
Skimmer: Bubble King Double Cone 250 +RD3
Nutrient Export: Santa Monica Surf2 Algae Scrubber
Dosing: Exclusively ME Coral 2-part including Mag & Amino Polyp Extender
Feeding: Mixture of PE Mysis, SFB Brine, and Bloodworms frozen x2. Flakes 3 times a day to each tank.
Flow: Vortech MP40wQD x 2 & Gyre 150
Return: Jecod DC15000

Total water volume is around 275G or so, testing done every few days at minimum. I do not run any carbon or GFO. No water changes are done. The 210G & 50G are plumbed together and everything is controlled via Apex.

As for fish, I have a decent fish load.
210G:
1 Blue Throat Trigger
1 Niger Trigger
1 Exquisite Wrasse
1 Melanurus Wrasse
1 Rhomboid Wrasse
1 Yellow Eye Cole Tang
1 Chevron Tang
1 Blue Hippo
2 Black Ice Clowns
10 Dispar Anthias
1 Squareback Anthia
1 Bellus Angel
1 Sailfin Tang

50G:
1 Picasso Clownfish
1 Darwin Clownfish
1 Flasher Wrasse


Coral placement: Mid tank on glass in the middle of the 210G tank.

As of today 4/4/16, colors look better and the algae was cleaned up by something in the tank.

That tank has come along nicely. Love T-5 with supplemental LED tanks.
 
So you like LED then?:p

I agree that tank is looking good, I'm envious of its length haha!

Ha! Must be out of your mind. T5s all day, next project will include MH just because it's the last light set up I want. LOL, got just about everything else.
