    sump/refugium is a 20gal long with my cheap Jebo skimmer. skimmer has een working really well since I put it in the sump
    [​IMG]
    lighting is Dual 250w 14K metal halide

    I'm so much more happy with the bigger tank. just need to add more colors now. Any suggestions?

    Zoanthids have alot of color if you have the proper set up.
    Halimeda can add alittle green to your tank if you want it.

    I love the lighting!! Ive always like the 14k bulbs. If you looking for colors, candy cane or trumpet corals are blue or neon green, um... frogspawn is a nice neon green, mushrooms add color. Youll just have to look around, there are alot of color out there, and with those lights youll have no problem with corals.

    Nice set-up!
    Coralline algae will give you some nice shades of green, red, pink and purples.
    Zoos, shrooms, Acropora and Montipora species as well to name a few.
