Haven't been here for a while, last posts were about my nano i think!
Anyway here is some info about my reef
Cube Tank Spec:
(*Note; volumes are before displacement)
Display tank size: 226lts (50 UK gal) - Partitioned with a false weir at back of tank
Sump size: 114lts (25 UK gal) - divided into mechanical filtration bays, bubble trap bays, mechanical equipment bays and there is a 'cryptic area' (an attempt to replicate the benthic zone of the ocean)
Refugium size: 40 lts (8 UK gals) - miracle mud base, with 3" DSB and macro algaes.
Pico-reef frag tank: 15lts
Total system capacity = 334lts (83 UK gals)
Filtration:
Approx 30kg Live Rock
Refugium with mud and macro algae system
TMC V2Skim 600 Skimmer
Cryptic area filter feeders
Water circulation:
3500lt/hr OR pump returned to tank via a SCWD and 2 rotating nozzles
4400lt/hr Seio super pump (goes off for 5 hours per day to allow particulate matter to sink to the substrate and for feeding time)
Flush device, dump rate of 2571lts/hr
Total turn over of water = 46 times per hour (10,471 lts per hour).
Main tank lighting:
1 x 250W Metal Halide light (10,000K spectrum)
1 x 55W T5 compact actinic
Total main tank light = 6.1WPG
Refugium lighting : 1 x 18W T8 bulb (24/7 photoperiod)
Pico cube lighting: 1 x 11W PC plus 10W actinic T8 (to be upgraded)
Stock:
Sessile inverts
Softies, LPS, SPS
Motile inverts Hermit crabs (red legs, blue legs, zebra legs, blue eyes), turbo and trochus snails, cleaner shrimp, porcelain crab, pom pom crab, spiney bristle star, 2 x peppermint shrimps, lettuce slug, mithrax crab.
Fish: 1 x False perc, 1 x 'two-spot' blue eye bristletooth, 1 x algae blenny, 2 x starry dragonnettes, 1 x green mandarin dragonnette
Maintainance:
Partial water change once every 3-4 weeks
Buffered RO top-up every day
Feed tank with phyto and frozen once every 3 days, feed fish with flake once per day.
Glass clean once every day
Additives:
Biocalcium once every 3 days
Triple buffer once every three days (1 day after biocalc)
Iodine once a day
S.G. = 1.026 - 1.028

Wow, very impressive tank. I love the Yellowhead Goby 
I never knew you had SW! (After a little digging around I found you were "starting" a nano back then). Well it certainly did turn out extremely nice!! Congrats!
