This is my new tank design. I'm curious to see what everyone thinks and I'm curious should I go with one inch return lines instead of 3/4 inch or bigger before i buy tank?

Since I have plenty of time at home during my quarantine here in northern Kentucky I have been getting together my plans for my fish tank that has been in the making in my head for years.

So in the meantime we've redone our kitchen and bathroom and landscaping basically anything the wife wants and I have finally put my foot down and I am getting back in the hobby. Not cool that she gets notifications every time I buy something but I have tried to warn her for a while.

The display tank from Custom Aquariums will have Ultra Clear glass but first i have figure out where the holes will be drilled.

This i do know the display tank will be 48" long 24 wide by 27 tall with a newly built 40 gallon breeder sump in the basement that i just built, pictures below.

Sorry to ramble so much but I am super excited to get back in the hobby and happy to be a part of this group.

Welcome to R2R and back to reefing.

I've been busy while I am waiting for my display tank to arrive. I wanted to share my aquascaping with everyone. I will share once it's in the tank as well.
