Here is the latest on the tank in the last couple of months. I have done 2 major updates:

This first update was that I bought a MARS unit which allowed me to eliminate the back section breeding setup (which I will later used for larval rearing and other stuff). I spent parts of this weekend plumbing the remaining breeding set up into the sump that was part of the MARS unit. I purchased a Super Reef Octopus 5000 External Skimmer that should be here this week to complete the breeding setup. This allowed me to move the 180G that was the sump in the breeding system and using that as the sump for the display tank along with the ATI 3000 skimmer that was in that system. Here are pics of how the system look now.

The second is that updated the lighting and flow on the display. I purchased a Vortec MP60 and upgraded my MP20s with the wireless module (so now they are basically MP40s). I also go rid of my T5 lights and am running 3 Apollo dimmable fixtures. So far I have been very happy with both. Here is current video of the tank
