Thanks everyone for the warm welcomes the moorish idol is my fav fish and he thrived in that 40g which was crazy but he ended up in my friends 280 and is still kicking today!!!

Welcome to R2R, looks like you are on top of your game, know how to drill tanks, hard plumb, build your own sump and keep fish and coral alive/healthy....don't see why not repeat whatever worked for you in the past. Only thing I would suggest is to look into different LED lighting options and maybe turn that hospital tank section in your sump into a refugium.
Keep us updated

 

[Travis Powers]

The hospital spot was a Refugio's sections as waiting for a few things like a light and skin the stand to hide everything

 

[Travis Powers]

Brian what would you suggest for lighting that was a max spect razor led I have also used an AI which to me worked the same just had the storm mode the razor I only ran about 20% at its peak but it's controllably for every half hour to ramp up and down

*Welcome to Reef2Reef @Travis Powers !* Your old system looked nice.I would just suggest adding a circulation pump to the display and making that refugium as suggested.

 

[Travis Powers]

Thanks Kireek right now I'm planing and designing the stand sump and tank plus equipment I'm think gather equipment and build stand tank and sump then put all together in about 4-6 months complete

 

[Travis Powers]

Well everyone I was at the neighbors garage sale last night I couldn't pass up a 75 gal tank and stand a 20 and a 29 and about 5 boxes of misc fish equipment (mostly all useless but got everything for 40 bucks lol

Welcome aboard!

I'm trying to do the same with my future hubby. I'm dragging him to ReefaPalooza with me in June to spark his interest (hopefully).
