Getting ready to move a basic 60gal tall into a 90 gall reef ready

We are at the one month mark and the sump/ refugium is settling in. I'm trying something new for me. Being a 40 breeder with just a return chamber, I have tons of room. I have three types of macro algae, and have some nutrient absorbing softies. Pink Waving Hand Anthelia, large devils hand, pulsing zenia in the sump. Plan is to have basically a second display of all the stuff that gets out of hand in a display or can't be kept do to type of fish in keeping.

I’ve got a devil’s hand and Xenia in my garage holding tank for a similar reason. Looking to soak up nutrients in a tank with limited filtration, it’s just a 20long with a peninsula AIO kit. It was never meant to be a display tank but it’s kind of turning into one.

Awesome thank you! That gives me confidence in my plan
