The tank is a Custom 220Gal Starphire - bull-nosed at one end (to be used for a room divider). It has dual 2" bulkheads (bottom-drilled) in the bio-chamber/overflow. 4 1/2" DSB consisting of Caribsea Oolite and AragAlive Fiji Pink sand (over 600lbs). Over 50lbs of Tonga Branch + another 175lbs of Fiji Premium (some Walt Smith) and Florida Shelf rock.

There are dual (connected) 40Gal sumps, and then the 40Gal refugium with 6 1/2" DSB. Currently contains some various designations of Caulerpa and some sea-grass + TONS of pods/worms/etc.

More info upon request.

WOW awsome!
What lighting are you using? looks like you have 2 halides in the box on the main tank.

Dual 175 Watt 10000K German MH's + x8 PC Actinics (in shown hood) + x2 72" URI Super Actinic 03's on an IceCap 660. This hood is being replaced (it is meant for my 110Gal tank) by the new hood I'm building. The new hood will house x3 MH's (Xanium X2's) with Spider Reflectors run on PFO 250 Watt ballasts + the URI's as listed above on an IceCap dimmer for dusk/dawn effects + AB Moonlight. Refugium is lit 24/7 via x2 NO's (one actinic + one 50/50).
