True true... just thinking ahead for the system in the garage lol. This will be in the house and honestly having a 300g display in my previous house was such a daunting task in terms of maintenance and keeping it clean so the wife cuts me off lol . The garage I wouldn't have to worry about water spilling and running any hardwood flooring which would greatly upset the better halfHonestly I’d stick with the tankI have and get the trigger sump. In reefing I find it more effective to stay on the route you started. You have the top of the line stuff and also even though your stuff could work for a bigger tank, you don’t want the bare minimum for your tank you want it to handle even a bad situation and have what you need to keep anything within it
