good luck! I'm actually thinking of going from 60gal to a red sea reefer 150gal...!
very nice unfortunately i dont have the space for this at the minute or most likely the time to perfect it the way i would want. I want a 525xl in time but will wait for a while.

Collected the tank last night exciting stuff unfortunately I need to rethink the sump as I won't have the space for what I want. But I will make do
Will get to ordering the last of the piping I need this week. Sum will be ordered also which will give me 3 weeks to plan all the piping and install. Also have some rock from my Fluval which I took down so I am going to try and make some columns out of these for my scape. Also need to make a few cutout for fitting the radion mount and get measured up for the top to order a cover.

Skimmer and return pump ordered. Also went with 2 types of aragonite substrate.
Skimmer went for a Deltec sc 1351 and return will be jebao dct 4000. Piping is near sorted how I will lay it all out. Just need to finish the drawing.

Well it has been ages since i have got to update this thread so time to blast some pictures out. The tank is fully up and running. The move has gone well and all fish and corals setteled in well. All levels are bang on. Used near all the water from rsm plus water from sump as the fuge was full of pods i wanted t keep. Add a bit more live rock and made some structures for the new tank. Have added some new corals and an eel. Zebra moray which is doing great. Only zoa will be added for the next 2 months maybe a new fish at the end of the year. Looking towards a tomini tang but still undecided.Will bore you with a load of pictures now lol
