Hey guys, Hope the New Year is starting out well for all at WWM. Here’s what I’ve got, a 150 with 100lbs of live rock, 120lbs of dead base rock, and 1.5″ of dead sand. Everything is plumbed directly below the tank into the basement (best decision I’ve made, space for all sorts of options and easy maintenance). I’m running two sumps, one at about 4′ high and the other 2′ off the floor. The first (20gal) houses a large skimmer followed by water polishers and the second (40gal) houses the W/D. Water is being moved by weirs on each end of the tank with four 1.5″ drains and one 1.5″ return on a closed loop (about 1600gph). Originally we wanted to keep large, heavy eaters like triggers, angels, puffers, etc., but after spending countless hours on your site, we’ve decided to keep pets that won’t push our system to its limits both physically and socially. Now the stocking list is looking like a dwarf angel, yellow tang, butterfly, blenny, goby, and other like sized additions.
