First off, Welcome to R2R!

I have a EVO as well. Had it running a year and half ago, shut it down when I sized up. Then I moved and started the EVO up a few months ago. Are you planning on making it a reef tank or fish only. I found that the light it comes with is substandard. I put an A1 prime on and love it. I also changed the foam block out for a media basket in chamber 1 and am liking that. Finally I have a JBJ nano ATO which is making life easier. Good luck with your tank.

Sorry to hear about your crash, keep with it. This is my tank after 4 months.

How is the tank doing?
Changed it to freshwater lol. Basically, over the summer, I was on vacation for a 2 weeks. I had an apex on it and someone to check on it every few days. It was all doing fine until a few days before I came back. The pump stopped working and there was no oxygen in the tank and everything died :(. I am planning on getting another saltwater but for now, it is my betta and pea puffer’s home.

While it was still running I used a Kessil a80, an innovative marine lid, an apex unit (I was going on vacation), the apex DOS (AWC), and the apex ATK (ATO)
 

Looking back to your reefing roots: Did you start with Instant Ocean salt?
