So this is the progression of the tank remodel. Got the 155 stand an canopy fir $500 :-D. Of course had to repaint it, sturdy up floor with basement Jack's. It came together from our 30 gal reef tank and 65 gal fowlr. Had to get 40 more lbs of rock. But plenty of softies that need to grow and some zoas. The toadstool got huge in other tank already. Just have 2 ocelaris clown, saddle puffer, sixline wrasse , flame hawkfish( my fav) and damsel. Looking to get some tangs but taking it slow. Running 30 gal sump/refuge. New bubblemagus skimmer. So quiet. External pump running great. All dialled in. Just waiting for my hydro smart level and phosban reactor to show up and it finished and I can stop putting in 2 gals of rodi water daily. Let me know what u think. It's been a long and expensive journey. The better half is cutting me off

Nice set up. I understand the "cutting off" my husband says mine is a money pit. But I just love this hobby. Keep the pictures coming.

Traded in the 30 gal cube and stand to stock some corals. Got a decent selection from slippery rock corals in PA.

Tank still growing nicely. Going thru ny hair algae crap. Changing my GFO reactor like every 10 days. Doing 5% WC on Wednesdays ands 10% on Saturdays and scrubbing as much off as I can while changing water. It's improving but slowly. Here's a more recent pic
