Ok so my DT is a 65g Miracles Starfire front tank with corner overflow that leads into my 75g sump.  The DT is lit by 2x150 HQI DE Phoenix 14000K (no supplemental at this point) I am running a mixed reef at this point experimenting with SPS.  I think I have managed to satisfy flow requirements for everyone at this point.  I have two Koralia Nanos (425gph) in the rear corners, a Koralia3(750gph) on the left and an EcoTech MP10ES on the right.  I plan to split my return into two and remove the Nanos.  The overflow is split into two different flows.  The left overflow passes through a 200micron sock and feeds my skimmer (AquaC EV-180) and into my return (Mag7).  The right overflow is extremely low flow and passes through a 100micron sock, through LR rubble and Seachem Matrix BioMedia then into my fuge.  The fuge is lit by a Hagen 2x39W T5HO and a single CFL@6500k.  I am at the point where I have placed everything and am simply waiting for things to grow.  I have not yet installed my Tunze ATO or my dual reactors(Carbon/GFO).  I have increased my livestock feedings two fold (mysis/flake/pellet) and feed Reef Roids weekly.

Coming along nicely.

I see you like the designer clowns too.  If you make it out to my place I have a couple of nice pairs of clowns to show you.

Do you still have that snowflake you were looking to find a new home for?  My black oscellaris is getting picked on, Im likely gunna let him go and will need a partner for my lone flake.

..then I am sure if you would have went with a 90g, you would be wishing that you went to a 120g ;D
