    Hello everyone , thought i would post some pics of my 220 setup.
    Finally got it all going about ten days ago now im just letting it cycle.
    It's a 220 oceanic with a 75g sump/ refugium. For lighting i went with 3 lumen bright minis and select a watt 250/400 lumatek ballast with radium bulbs.
    The return pump is an Iwaki 2000 gph running through a manifold with gate and ball valves for various reactors etc.
    I have about 180lbs of base and live rock and about 140lbs of substrate.

    Nice! Love the way you plumbed the sump into the space under the stairwell. My last house had a space just like that and it was pretty much worthless for anything, but you put yours to good use!
