The Tank with Vallis Planted and 100 neons
Refugium - not much to look at at the moment but it'll get there
Sump + Refugium - not that clear of a shot but basically the sump is 6x 18x 18 with 6000 bio balls. the first chamber the water flows into has carbon an filter wool in it and the overflow from the 4 foot refugium flows into this aswell. the wooden struts are the framework for the walls im building around it to inclose it fully

yeah its gravity fed through 25mm clear tube, the display is fed through 50mm. works well though im thinking of uping the flow through the refugium and adding a powerhead to the main display with a rotating arm to break the surface tention abit (maybe)

light seems rather bright. what tubes are you using? i'm assuming your using T5's?
or my second guess would be a combined halide/T5 unit? the blue light refracts through the water fantastically.

nup just ordinary fluros, powerglo and marine glo, there brand new tubes though and hung from the roof so the light escapes probably giving a brighter effect
