Hey all, wanting to start a build thread on my current garage system and what I am going to be renovating it into.

Current System:
300 gallon Lagoon Frag Tank (8'x4'x16")
-Lighting: 4x ReefBreeders Photon 24-V2+
160 gallon Lagoon Tank (8'x2'x16")
160 gallon sump (4'x4'x18")
-Return pumps: Reeflo Dart Hybrid and Reeflo pressure pump not sure the name
120 gallon Mixed Coral Display (4'x2'x2')
-Lighting: 48" Aquatic Life T5 Hybrid w/ 2x Radion XR30 G2 Pro and 1x Radion XR30 Gen3 Pro

Upcoming System:
300 gallon Lagoon Frag Tank (8'x4'x16"
-Lighting: 4x ReefBreeders Photon 24-V2+
120 gallon Mixed Coral Display (4'x2'x2')
-Lighting: 48" Aquatic Life T5 Hybrid w/ 2x Radion XR30 G2 Pro and 1x Radion XR30 Gen3 Pro
300 Gallon SPS Growout tank (10'x2'x2')
-Lighting: unsure
160 gallon lagoon turned sump (8'x2'x16")
-Return Pumps: 2x Reeflo Dart Hybrid pumps
-Skimmer: Reef Octopus SRO-5000ext
-Reactors: Reef octopus 6' bio-pellet reactor; BRS Jumbo Carbon Reactor

I'm sure I'm leaving plenty out. I'll attach pics of as much of the process of setting up my current system as I can and plans for the future system. Working on it all over the next 4 months realistically. I have to finish emptying the 160 lagoon then scrape it and clean it to start cutting the baffles and welding them in. I'm running a current full apex also that controls everything I can get it to control.

A few updated pics of the 120 I installed in the living room. Our living room is adjacent to the garage so I opened up some space in the drywall to plumb the 120 into the main system in the garage.
That't awesome - Garage as fish room has the advantage over the basement of not needing all the extra head pressure, but you have to have the ideal setup like you describe.

The new setup will be IDEAL in a lot more ways than the current setup is. I've tried to be as efficient as possible with the space I've got.
