I have mine in a RSM 250 temporarily. I'll post the info when I move it to my new Frag Tank. Currently, I am running the RSM stock, with no skimmer. The paly is on the third tier of a 4 tier frag rack. About once a week I feed the tank cyclops- eeze, reef bugs, or rods.

This is my my lighting:
1- ATI Purple Plus 39W 36" T5 Bulb
2- KZ 39W 36" New Generation 14000K T5 Bulb
3- KZ 39W 36" Super Blue T5 Bulb

Here's my first pic:
