    I originally was building a 120 system, but my friend sold me this 80 gal complete setup stupid cheap - Clarity plus with built in rear sump, I run a coralife skimmer, 250hqi with 2 t5 actinics, Im about to upgrade to a dual HQI but debating on giving LED a go .
    I've had the tank for 2 months, it was setup 8 months previously and we transported everything in water, temp controlled but only had 3 corals in it, since then ive added tons and some new fish.

    Working through cyano - seems to be coming out less and less. Bulbs less than a month old. I am not used to this built in sump and its pretty tough to get to things - running cheato in the fuge section, gfo, carbon - Feeding corals cycolpeeze once per weeks (sun corals twice per week chopped shrimp). Its been persistant even with weekly water changes. Nothing has died in the tank, hoping im on some kind of secondary cycle cause i had dinos then they went away immediately cyano came in -

    Anyway - here are some pics -
