All this GSP came from a 200 gallon tank I bought it also came with a 100 gallon and so much equipment it was unreal so I'm breaking up and going to sell or trade for other corals

Ok folks Im looking for a little help here,1st I want to say im not new to the hobby had tanks for yrs and designed set up and serviced tanks from 125 up to 700 gallons. I had a basic cookie cutter set up it worked and corals grew like crazy
wet dry filter or berlin sumps with filter socks, smaller tanks needle wheel skimmers, larger ones venturi with a pressure pump attached similar to mrc skimmers good lights good ro water and weekly water changes with added things the tank needed carbon, calcium, etc etc
things worked great but it seems like so many new things are out their im setting up my frag system to be kinda display and frag with the old way I have done in the past am I missing something have I been away from the hobby to long ? just looking for some thoughts from other folks
OH and I do have new LEDs not going back to MH
Thanks Dave
 
I say if aint broke dont fix it
 
Hey Aquadude That's my thoughts but I do have a habit of over thinking things I have the 2 tanks set up but and still in prosses of figuring out the way I'm plumbing and setting up the 2 big ens since Im running them on same system
