My new 75

[m0nk3y69d]

I am starting a build of a 75 gallon reef I have a 75 gallon rr tank and a 40g breeder I'm going to use as a sump along with the cut glass to make the sump. I am making my own stand from scratch and I'm going to upgrade some of my equipment that have in my 55 right now. If anyone has any advice on putting up a 75 gallon and doing it right Plz lets know lol. When I did my 55 I made a lot of mistakes and I don't want to do that again I want to go from a ****** looking 55 to a amazing 75
