Sweet system you've got there. I must visit you soon.

Why did you choose T5 over MH?

Do you have live rock in the system?

Why didn't you use any substrate in the tanks?

Congratulation, that is really amazing!
Hello Ricardo!

I don't use MH illumination to prevent on heating and to reduce costs with the refrigeration in the summer. As you can see in the setup I have 200 kg in the sump. I have a small layer of Aragamax of the Caribbe Sea to reflect the light and is siphoned every month together with the sediments.

Cheers
