Hello Reefers!!!
This is my 75 gallon "Hopefully" mixed Reef at some point Build.
Backstory used to have a 90 gallon FOWLR about 15 maybe more years ago, now I have a 29 running for almost a year now and want to move everything to the 75 when ready, I will seed the 75 with sand and rock from the 29 as well as adding Turbos start to help.
Here is a list of my current equipment on this build:
-Aqueon 75 Gallon drilled
-Aqueon 40 gallon Sump
-Jebao DCP-6500
-Jebao PP8
-Jebao SCP-70M
-Phosban Reactor 150
-Eshopps S-120 Skimmer

Salt used to start Instant Ocean
Will let you all know how it goes.

Any suggestions are more than welcome!! Thanks ina dvance

10 lbs of Seeded rock from the 29 gallon
10 lbs of dry rock
5 gallons of replaced water from the 29 gallon

Is that a 40 gal breeder for a sump? I’d love to see a clear picture and the spacing between each baffle
