I have found great success keeping one system with two tanks on reverse light cycle. With this, I had an idea to add a display tank to my shallow reef.
About the future system...
120 Tech Tank w/ Starfire Glass (Main Floor and main display)
Current 60g Shallow Tank (Basement, secondary display/frag growout)
Frag Tank - discontinue and remove or convert to refugium
Sump keep hooked to the 60g and return to 120.. 120 return to 60g.. and repeat.
I plan on running the light cycles opposite each other. Main display will become my mixed reef (SPS all high up an overhanding shelfs with by Acan/Favia and other LPS either under the overhangs or in lower light.
Here are some pics of the current aquascape. Don't be concerned with the Acrylic rods showing. They will not be there once rock is drilled and puttied.
I'd like opinions on overall aesthetics, coral placement options for mixed reef, as well as system design considerations when looping 2 displays and a sump across two levels.
