New 150 gallon in Minneapolis

[zenistler]

Hello All! New to Reef2Reef. I currently have a 35 gallon set up but just got an acrylic 150 gallon that is 30"Hx24"Wx48"L. Will DIY my own 30 gallon sump and stand. Will be posting updates as I polish my acrylic and get it all set up. I am curious how you all would aquascape and what size tubing should I go with for my drain and return pipe?

Attached is the before picture.

Welcome! I would recommend keeping all rocks away from acrylic. I think 1"return and 1.5 in drains are ok.
