Free 30 Gal. Tank Build

[buck27]

Had everything basically given to me for free! I have been out of the hobby for over a year and have a big 300 gallon build planned for next year but when my friends offered to give me everything for free I couldnt say no!

Still cycling as I set it up 2 weeks ago roughly. It will need some upgrades to pump, heater, ATO, and powerhead but the way it sits right now is fine. Couldn't be happier since all I bought was 1 bag of sand!!!

Awesome! Congratulations on the new tank - it looks like you are well on your way to a really neat system!

Nice. Can't wait to see what it looks like after you get it stocked. Is the sump just going to run a protein skimmer and ATO, or will you also make some room for a refugium section?

Also any ideas on what sort of livestock you plan to put in, or just play it by ear? And I don't just mean fish, but also if you plan to do a mixed reef, SPS only, LPS only, etc.

Mixed reef likely, the tank on the left is the refugium, the tank on the right is the sump. No ATO yet.
