due to a crash from moving, I'm redoing my whole tank. I'm even buying a new stand, sump, skimmer, and pump to power everything. I've been using led's for over a year and have kept sps, lps, and all types of soft corals as well. I tend to lean towards sps and lps corals, but I have a deep love for zoanthids as well leaving me always having a rock in every tank that is just zoas. I have a tank thread, but it's pointless now since I'm redoing it and almost everything from that tank is dead now. I don't want to go into too much detail on why my tank crashed, but all my fish and rock were stuck in a truck for 4 days because of a moving issue.

Man! that is awful to hear, but it sounds like you have a great plan to execute. What equipment are you planning to go with? or are you still researching?

I'm going with a trigger systems sump, wood stand by glass cages, and I'm picking a skimmer out, but I'm about certain it will be a vertex.

Nice equipment list. What size tank will this be?

I've been following them for a while now myself, but I have seen them both in person and just personally preferred Trigger Systems. I ended up going with a Ruby 36 elite by Trigger systems and I'm looking forward to it coming in this week. I need to go pick up my stand now and stain it. If I can find help moving my tank this week I'll be finished getting the main pieces in place by friday.
