Default CaseyC 90 FBH setup

Ok..well I started out with a 30g all-in-1 and did well for about a year..
I bought a bigger set up from a nice guy in Holland, but that did not last long. He gave me so much that I am also using some of it with this current set up.
This is my tank now.It is a 90g flat back hex with a black acrylic stand and hood. Inside are a mix of SPS LPS & some softies, not much in this dept, as of yet, but LOTS of room to grow.
I only have a few fish, all of which are from reefers I met here.Both guys I did business with have been nice and informative.
The fish are a Blue Hippo Tang, a Yellow Tang, a Clarki and somewhere in there is an engineer Goby that i got from a LFS, but I never see him.
We also have a small Anemone that the Clarki seems to ignore.
For circulaton I have a tunze 6100.10 and a 6015.
All of this is under a 20K 250W MH in the center. On both sides of the halide are two 24Watt T5's.
From there I have a 1" drain through the floor that leads to the basement to a strainer that has removable and cleanable pads. The strainer is in a 50gal rubbermaid tub filled with crushed coral, LR and my ASM G3 skimmer.
I have introduced some algae into this part of the sump with a 48Watt T5 over the top.
From there it drains to a 100gal rubbermaid tub with lots more LR, in this tub is also my Mag12 which leads back to the display.
I have a Mag36, but have not yet plumbed it in with a flow valve.
I think thats it so far...here are some pictures, let me know your thoughts or if you have any ideas.
A special thanks to all the guys who have helped me along the way.
