Welcome!
I had a 65 and I HATED it. It was too stinkin' deep.
The carnation coral you have there is a very low light coral, if I may, I'd suggest moving it in the darker area of your rock work. It will be it's happiest there.

Thanks so much MrDJeep123.... i had a 30g and upgraded to a 65g... i know its deep... LOL... but it works out fine in a condo.....cant go longer then 36" no room.... thanks for the advice I will move the carnation....

Here's an update of my upgrade from canister filters to an Aqueon Proflex sump model 2....

Looks good. Did you run the canisters and the sump at the same time for a bit or did you do a hard stop on one and right into the other? Also noticed that you took out the two Hydor's. Was it to much floor or what happened there? And did you drill the overflow or is that a hang on the back one?

I stopped on the canisters right away and ran the sump right away.

I took out the 2 hydors and installed one underneath the socks... and one spare ... running at mp10 and the return flow is strong for water movement.

The tank got drilled on the back for the drain and return and the LFS installed an overflow for me... I dont like the hang-on overflows.

The skimmer is too high so good thing i managed to hang it at the back of the sump for the last stage..

I will probably do some repiping for the skimmer.
