100G predator fish only + nano reef in sump!

[hairyashell]

I adopted this tank a couple of months ago. Decided to break everything down and sterilise it. Removed old silicone and rebraced with all new solicone on the inside. Got a stand and finally it's up.

So far I have 3 fishes that are in QT for another week (2nd batch of fish going into QT afterwards), so in the meantime I'm gonna test for leaks and seed the tank with existing cycled filters. The plan is also to use a portion of the sump to create a nano reef. The main display is going to be fish only with predators and angels. Haven't fully decided on what's going to be in the nano
Main display:
- 100 gallons
- Side overflow into sump below
- DIY plumbing
- Single wavemaker and return
- Reef magnus skimmer
- 1st batch: Dogface puffer, Snowflake eel
- 2nd batch: Emperor angel, Blue face angel, Clown trigger, Lionfish

Nano display in sump:
- 10 gallons
- 1st batch: Dwarf lionfish
- 2nd batch: Clownfish
- Pulsing Xenia and Torches

I like the scape. Looks a bit like a prehistoric bird skeleton. The cycling has begun
