Beginning of march 2023 I started with a 30g frag tank attached to my 200 gallon system. People in my area were very excited to buy frags from us so I ended up making more frags and setting it up to be something bigger. This is what I have now: (4/11/23)

It is a constant issue with every tank in one way or another. So I’m trying to redo everything but this time in the basement with photo updates on here so more experienced refers can get involved and tell me what I should change if I’m messing up. Here is what I have done today.
Bought these materials and planned out locations. 9 cow water buckets 110 gallon each. 2 five foot water trays. 2 ten foot trays. Working on smaller set up first, it will end up being the sump for my 200g. Then will do sump for a different (also well established) tank that’s in my bedroom.

Got the 1st 10 foot tray running with two 110 buckets under it. Had some leaking with the 3rd bucket so I’ll mess with that later. It also did not drain fast enough so I had to add another drain

Added a lot of sand and live rock I had in my other tanks sump. Also a lot of water from the established tank while doing a water change for it. Everything seems to be running nicely

Working on the next setup now that the first one seems to be working ok. I’m still trying to plan out how I’ll organize the corals
