Hi

I have been out of the hobby for a few years new, I've had a 125g custom tank mixed with great success for about 3 years until a power outage kill everything while i was out of town.

Now is time to get back on the horse, what i'm planning:

The equipment I'll use are:
• Tank : 90x30x24 glass
•Sump: 66x24x16
• Stand: Steel epoxy coated
• Light: 4 Reef bredders Photon V2 24"
• Skimmer: Bubble Magus curve 9 elite
• Flow: 2 gyre xf250 (Maybe add more if needed)
• Controller: Apex
• Return: Haven't decide yet.

I want to make this tank ULM so i can have my hands out of the tank and just enjoy it, for this reason I'm gonna try Ati essentials, I wanted to use Triton method but supply seen to be an issue.

This is the design of the tank, sump and stand, all the stand frame will be 2x2, center posts 2x4.
Tank will have a ben animal drain.
Sump will have the first chamber as drain receiver or to all filter socks if neede, second chamber 30x24 will be the fuge, next skimmer and final return pump.

What do you think about this design is there something missing?

The other thing is the design of the furniture around the tank, haven't decide about close canopy or air canopy, what design you like more?
