I started out with a 34g cube and over the past year learned so much. I had to move my 34g to a new home only 6 months after starting and had a custom stand built so I could later add a sump, which i did from inferred. He built me a custom sump 20x21x15, its amazing. Anyways after 6 more months I had added more dry rock and everything started to fill cluttered. Lucky I made my new stand big enough to hold a 60 cube. So I went out and found a great deal on a 60g cube. My biggest issue was removing the old tank to be able to place the new tank on the old stand. After 6 hours and painful rash causing sting by my bta this is what I came up with. It has been up for about a week now

Looks great. I like your rock work, powerhead placement and flow, etc. You might want to raise your light about 6 more inches.
 
Lighting
Ocean revive s026

Flow
2 tunze 6025. I would like to invest in a wave maker because I'm never happy with it

Sump/refugium
25 gallon custom Lifereer

Skimmer
Hob aquamaxx

Food for fish and coral
Reef frenzy. I stop feed my coral with no flow every few days


Things id like to learn
How to color up my sps. I feel at times due to my heavy coral feeding I run higher phospates

Its hard to maintain that because my system is extremely natural
