Hope to upgrade my 75g display to a 150g display with my 35g existing sump. The sump is offset to the display so it is easy to add a new HOB overflow, tank and stand.

Another major improvement is to build a box for the Apex and EcoTech controllers.

I have only this my 125 gallon up and running for a year, but I hope to upgrade my lighting and maybe build an upgraded aquascape. I went cheap on the lighting with. Current marine pro led bars which do work, but I am not impressed with the growth. I am wanted to either go with the two Kissel AP9x or if I can afford it 3 G5 radions. Any suggestions is greatly appreciated.
G 5 radion these are top o f the line so r kessel but id go radion....

Building my '65g' rimless mixed reef. I say '65' because the tank actually measures to hold more like 58 gallons haha.

I'll put a build thread together later!

I just assembled “My Big Plan” for 2021.

It was finding that special chair that I can fall asleep in while enjoying the fruits of my labor with my tanks.

Now, back to that plan.

Plan on upgrading to a BIGGER tank from a 40 Gallon AIO to a bigger and longer tank. Still researching what route - and where in the house it would go. But will be at least 150 gallon or bigger.

After a 3 year journey the other side of this twin peninsula tank will be in by end of Feb 21. The current side is mixed reef and the new one will be angels, butterflieS etc with Sps.

Meh, dont really have big plans. My juvy Regals and Majestics are going to be delivered soon, so maybe end of Jan after they spend a bit of time settling at LFS.
New and bigger sump with a fuge and ditch the socks to accommodate my x filter due delivery mid Jan and finally sort my UV circuit.
Only other anticipated change is to sort my dosing with GHL kh director, who knows when that will turn up, been paid for and ordered for 6 weeks and still no update on delivery.
Cash depending might change out the Vipars for AP9x or G5, still cant make up my mind there so no big deal. Thats about it really, fingers crossed i make it through summer without a crash, getting warm here.

I plan to eradicate my Dino’s! Had them almost beat for two weeks but nutrients dropped again and they came back :mad: after that I plan to get my reef more stable and growing corals again (acans and zoas doing fine now but not much else). I would love to upgrade to a 75-100G system but that most likely isn’t on the table as that would be a 4-5k set back.

I also bought this! Can't wait for it to ship! I'm going to start a youtube build series on it is my plan.
That sounds great. I noticed that Waterbox changed the name from Promax to Reef LX. I will also do some YouTube videos of the setup and growth in the tank.

started a 300 gallon reef tank build late 2020 and will be working on it and finish in 2021.
Had the tank made 96"x30"x24" but i am making everything else, stand, 2 sumps (a chemical one and a biological one) and 1 refugium which over flow into both sumps which will be tied together by a 2" pipe.
Check my post....300 gallon oasis in AZ..
Happy Holidays everyone and I hope Santa brings you all the reefing goodies you want without the wife getting too upset about prices,...hahah...
