150 Gallon Shallow Zeovit Reef

I decided to celebrate my 10th year of having saltwater tanks by upgrading to a new 150 gallon system.

This will be the 5th system I’ve started, having begun with FOWLR and my most recent system being a mixed reef. This time I’m going to try my hand at a pure SPS dominated reef running the Zeovit system.
