Well lets see.... The tank is a DIY custom acrylic ~100g (48x20x24). my flow is pathetic, which I will be remedying with new tank. Here are some more things about my tank listed out:
Livestock -
2 percs doing very good
1 firefish
1 green spotted mandarin
1 GBTA
Large green torch coral
some zoas and mushrooms
Duncan (which is growing like a weed)...bought it with one head, 2 weeks later has like 5
couple plate corals
leather toadstool coral
2 head candycane
lots of different snails, emerald crab, and hermit crabs
Equipment -
Return pump: HY-7000 Water balster
Skimmer: Super Reef Octopus XP-2000
Lights: DIY 48 cree/meanwell fixture; custom fixture
Sump: 20 gallon w/ refugium
Overflow: Beananimal silent overflow
RO/DI: Bulkreefsupply 4 stage 75 gpd
Dosing: alk and Calc - ~20 ml day (not very good at staying on schedule...getting apex)
Now to my new system:
I took my time making this tank...3 hours of sanding every edge to 1200 grit to make crystal clear welding on the edges. Out of tank overflow (so much better). My flow will consist of a reeflo dart and a hammerhead split to power 8 outlets. Upgrading to a 96 Cree/meanwell DIY LED. Custom metal stand with magnetic attached wooden doors. Here is a pic of the tank....ill be sure to do a thread on its build (don't want to hijack this one)
