Hello all! I think I’m to the point now where this will be my last tank and a permanent one at that. So with that being said I want to take you guys and gals along with me on this ride on restoring this 265g I got and let’s watch it grow into something amazing (hoping). I’m almost to the point now where I’m gonna rock scape it and then fill with water. I’m going to try bare bottom because this will hopefully be a SPS dominant tank. I’m still working on plumbing and sump and maybe get a few ideas along the way!! Let me share some pictures!

Sorry if the pictures came out to dark, I for the life of me couldn’t get them brighter!

What size return pump you guys recommend for a tank this size and a good turn over rate? I have a Reef octopus WB5000 but I’m not sure if that’s gonna cut it!!

Here’s the first rock scape. What do you guys think?

Now that I see the picture looks like maybe to much rock in the center?
