I intended to start this thread a while ago, but never got around to it. I started the hobby with a 75 gallon, then upgraded to a 125, and now finally to my dream size 60x24x30- 180 gallon when I moved in May 2021. I started with just wanting it to be an LPS dominant tank because I love Euphyllia and Acans, but I have experimented with SPS alittle. I currently use six DIY retrofit T5 bulbs in the canopy with black box for LED pop (going to replace those eventually). I have a 60 gallon sump and a 20 gallon refugium connected together with bulkheads. I use a Royal Exclusiv Vertex Alpha 250 protein skimmer, filter socks, and I use a Iwaki MD-40RT return. I will be getting 2 Maxspect 330 gyres to replace the jebao wavemakers I have now. Photos taken with Samsung Galaxy S10 plus.

Looks nice - how many fish inhabit your reef?
I am currently working on restocking since I lost most of my fish when I moved to velvet.
But I have a melanarus wrasse, lawn mower blenny, 2 gold stripe maroon clownfish, bumblebee goby and blue hippo tang.

That sucks (been there, sucked as well). All the best on your restocking journey!
