First picture is from the previous owner. I made a few adjustments; I'm planning on turning it into a shallow sps display tank.

Paint:
-white 123 primer
- black appliance epoxy
- black plastidip the bottom and top surfaces for grip
Wood:
-I added 3/4" plywood on the top and bottom for added support for the tanks.
- I plan to add doors to the front and sides.
Plumbing:
I changed the plumbing from pvc to braided pvc for the return and spa flex for the overflow.
The return pump is a jebao dc 2000
Sump is a 20g long. I did not use baffles for this sump. I did however try to modify it with a bucket where a bubble magus curve 5 skimmer will go. The middle is the refugium area. I sectioned off the return section with egg crate and Velcro. I placed a small section of acrylic on the bottom to prevent detritus being sucked up by the return pump. The return pump is elevated on egg crate.
 

When to mix up fish meal: When was the last time you tried a different brand of food for your reef?
