Here's my baby.

75 gal Marineland RR

Lite by a 48" 6 bulb aquatic life fixture. All ati bulbs. 4 blueplus 1 6500k and 1 ppurple plus. I love this combo. It's a nice 12k. But I'll be switching the two non blues for two coral plus I like the crisp white.

For flow I have two mp10s tunze 6045 and mag 9.5 return

Tank drains through the wall into a 55 gal sump. First into a 8" sock holder and in that chamber is my SWC with PM waste collector. Then hits a jbj true temp. I like this heater as much as my old finnex for anyone looking at that heater. Next is the jbj ato which I also like a lot. I use a brs parastalic pump through a PM kalk reactor and it keeps my parameters nice and stable. Also using a brs gfo reactor with MJ1200

I have t-d off the mag9 return to a decent size fuge full of cheato. It is really helping keep my tank clean.

Last I added a 40 breeder that was drilled. I'm using a mag3 for the return. I changed my aqua scaping to what u see now and needed to do something with the live rock. Not sure what I'm doing with the 40. But really thinking about a fowlr. Keep some small stuff that's not reef safe for now.
 
Couple more things. I recently lost my ballast on my tek so used a metal halide setup for about ten days. It seemed to takekout a little color. Which now is started to come back. Also I just added about 8 of these frags right before the pic. Went to reef wise. And these are off my phone. So in the coming weeks I'm gonna get to know my good camera and get some good pics!
 
Thanks! I'm so ocd. It's nice to be able to have the sump outside the room. These pics don't show the colors at all!
 
Looks good Tony. I love the aquascape you have going. It was nice bumping into you yesterday as well!
 
I really like how you setup your rock. The sump area looks immaculate . How do you like that kalkwasser reactor? Is it hooked up to a reef controller of some sort?
 
I got the stand in crystal Lake. It was on sale for 75$! I was all over that. I was going to have to build one. This one is perfect. Man what does everyone think I should do with that 40 b. I don't think I want a frag tank. I have plenty of room in the 75. And I don't want to buy another light. I was thinking a fuge but I have a good section in the sump for mine already. Could I keep a few small fish like a small angel maybe a small puffer
 
I love the kalk reactor its ran through the ato. I have the mixing pump come on four times a day for 15 minutes. Once the kalk doesn't keep up I'll add a dosing pump with two part. But it will take a lot to get to that point. I dose mag once in a while. I leave my fuge light on 24/7 and haven't noticed a drop in pH to have to use a controller to maintain it. I'm a less is more sometimes kinda guy. I haven't ever really worried about heavy testing or chasing numbers. I just look at my animals if there is something changing ill pursue it. But now that I'm getting heavy sps ill watch the numbers a little betteR. I like those controllers but I don't want to rely on computers too much. I enjoy making adjustment and working on my tank.
 
Added my first and likely only fish in the 40 breeder that is plumbed off the sump. I feel in love with this angel. It's a queen and she is small. Don't worry. Not her permanent home. My buddy has a 210 she will go there later in life. But for now she is all mine. Again crappy pic. On phone and using a desk lamp temporary til I decide what I'm for sure doing
