I have upgraded from a 75 gallon to a 240 gallon acrylic. I never did a build thread on the 75 gallon and I am making up for it with this 240 gallon.

Display Tank: 240 acrylic single return unknown builder.

Sump : Homemade 75 gallon with baffles.

Heater: Colbalt Accu-Therm 250w heater and the Arizona Summer.

Return Pumps :
SICCE Syncra 4.0 - will be ran on a closed loop
Ecotec Vectra L1 - single return haven't figured out what mode I will run it on yet.

Skimmer: Eshopps X-220

Power Head : Single Ecotec MP40 to start might add a MP10 if needed.

Lights: Four Hydra 26 HDs in the main display.
CPR LED strip for the sump.

Rock work: Mix of Marcos dry rock from the previous tank setup and rock provided by my LFS.

Tank is plumped and has started its cycle.

I'm running a closed loop system on it with and extra return on the far right that is coming out of the overflow box.

Updates:

I had battled a cyano and dino outbreak but I was expecting to at least get one of them with how fast I stocked the tank. I did not expect to have both of them. I finally beat both of those and have had a bit of an issu with GHA nothing I'm too worried about yet.

I have added to the live stock with a Cleaner Wrasee, a Purple Tang, a Huge Powder Blue Tang, and I just picked up a Massive Blue Face Koi Tang.

Current Fish Stocked

Purple Tang named Prince
Sailfin Tang named Huckleberry Fin
Powder Blue named Bluno Mars
Clown Fairy Wrasse named Wreck it Wrasse
Blonde Naso Tang named Billy Idol
Cleaner Wrasse named Elsa
Blue Hippo Tang named Dory
Blue Faced Koi Tang to be named at a later date.

Few updated pictures below
