New 220 tank build and thread

[lax5710]

I am starting with a used 220 gallon tank and stand. The sump will be custom made from a 75 gallon. The tank will have 3 drains and 2 returns.

Equipment list so far.

L1 and M1 return pumps
Neptune Apex pro
extra Neptune flow sensor
5 foot hybrid t5 light
2 radio xr15 gen 4
55 watt UV
2 MP40
one fleece roller
Nyos Torq G2 2.0
10 gallon ato

Will take advise on any equipment still to buy besides more lights I know that one. my largest tank before this was a 55 gallon so this is a big jump and any advise is greatly appreciated.

Welcome! Glad you joined. Sounds like you are off to a great start! 'Start where you are, use what you have, do what you can' - Arthur Ashe, tennis player

Have you considered starting your build thread? I found its a great place to document my tank's evolution for myself. I started tank first then joined, so I'm still finding myself going back collecting pictures & updating historically as well as current state. Once you create your first post in your thread under Forum > Member Aquariums and link it to your account, they will give you build badge (look left, under my ID). Essentially you might even start with what you wrote above, just copy and paste it into new thread (but up to you).

This might help you find people local to you in Tucson:

This is a good reference book type online article I still review:
