So this is what I am hoping to put together by the end of the year. I have a 150g bowfront that I want to get all set up with a basement sump. I am not good at writing lol so take what you will from it and hopefully I can get my point across enough for people to be able to input some needed advice.

Tank: 150g bowfront 72"Lx24"Wx24"H

Sump: Trigger emerald 36 thats going to have a large refugium in it. so light recommendations would be appreciated as well as return pump.

protein skimmer: is undecided any recommendations would be awesome.

lights: I have two 72" marine orbit led's with a loop. I know these will grow coral but I was wondering if others has some reviews with them. Or if you have an upgrade recommendation that works too.

power heads: I really want some mp10 but what are some other good ones that arent as expensive lol

what are some other things I would need? I know there are bells and whistles for days but honestly what is really needed? I love doing things by hand so daily maintenance is something I enjoy.

I will be using fiji pink for the substrate which I will have probably between 2" and 3". I have a lot of stone that I will be seeding asap.

it will be a mixed reef ranging from some simply sps to zoas and shrooms with a good variety in between. fish on the other hand I am not to sure about. I know I have 2 clowns, a yellow tang, a pistol shrimp goby pair and a scooter blenny as thats what I have now. I of course have other cuc but for the main guys thats all. what more should I include? I want another dragonet as well as a six line wrasse and a flame angel although I know I will have to be careful with them and coral. Any help would be much appreciated and thank you ahead of time.

This should be exciting to watch you build!

Any updates?
No unfortunately not... A new job and all the BS going on I haven't been able to make any progress. Hoping to get a plumber out for an estimate but just need to find the time and money to do anything.
