I currently am running a 65g very basic reef with a 15g sump. Dimensions are 36x18x24. It is an older style tank with front panel starfire glass and i had it re-siliconed to Black about a year ago. It is doing well and seems to be thriving but is on my second floor where i do not get to see it as often as i would like and lugging buckets for water changes is a pain in the butt. I run a full apex system and ocean revive leds with an external reef octo skimmer.
My question/thought is to possibly downsize to a innovative marine nuvo black 40. Then drill it for either a synergy ghost or Eshops eclipse ghost style overflow and still use my same sump. I guess what i am trying to ask is what would you do in this situation? I do not have the room on the wall to put my 65g tank and would have to go smaller but at the same time it would most likely put some money in my pocket for upgrades such as a radion or other equipment and i would be able to run all my wiring and power along with my apex through the wall and into my garage where i could keep it all neat and easy accessible.
any thoughts?
thanks,
