For my 55 gallon tank I already built the stand I’ve painted the back glass black I’ve drilled the tank, plumbed it, made a canopy, made a sump, got the rock and now I’m currently working on a 10 gallon display refugium that will sit next to the tank here are some pictures of the tank

My future plans are getting new t5 bulbs I was looking at the actinic plus, I still and looking for a protein skimmer and a dosing pump, also I’m looking at supplements to dose I was looking at this

And I’m also building a reactor for gfo and carbon if I can’t build one I’ll just buy one

Here is my only tank set up so far
