    ok back to the equipement:
    The equipement room is in my office.
    [​IMG]

    the system is running off a 2500 gph return pump running to a megaflow sump
    The system flows from the sump to a chiller located under my 75 gallon setup and then from it to the 65 gallon refugium, which housed Cheatomorpha, then back to the sump
    [​IMG]

    The system lighting is 3 400 watt 12k reeflux on lumenbright reflectors. The 75 gallon is 2 250 watt 12k reeflux on Lumenbright reflectors. I do run a 160 watt vho for some addition supplemental lighting on the main system.

    The flow is handled by 4 6200 Tunze and 2 6055 Tunze on a controller...I beleive the more flow the better
