Initial plan was to get a 50G lagoon but after a bit of deliberation and encouragement from my SO to treat myself for change I ended up cancelling the 50 backorder and got 100G IM EXT instead.
Equipment:
Tank: Innovative Marine EXT 100 - 48x24x19"
Stand: Aluminum IM stand with black glass
Sump: 20G long with DIY baffles, nothing fancy
Light: 2 vipras with 120' lenses installed and better fans (was trying to make them quieter by replacing with arctic fans and ended up louder but more airflow SMH)
Rock: ~95LB dry Marco Rock
Sand: Caribsea special grade shallow bed
Return: Jbao DCP-8000
Skimmer: IOAOI 130 - was on sale for $50 new, worth a try - works great, pump is a bit loud but other than that
Flow: jabao 120 cross flow
Heater: 200W titanium BRS element with Inkbird controller and a 150W glass heater backup
ATO: TBD
Animals:
Pair of ocellaris clowns + bta
Orange spot prawn goby + tiger pistol shrimp
Striped fang blenny
Carpenter's wrasse still in QT ( got a trio and lost 2 in QT, pretty certain velvet so kids QT your stuff)
