Beautifully built by Glasscages. Not in a rush, really, but with BF coming up im planning some stuffs.
Return pumps - one big pump (I do have an SP6 laying around) or two for dedicated return lines?
More questions to come..

You could go with either option. I recommend you get a pump for a spare. If you plan on keeping the tank long term be sure that you monitor your pumps manufacturers updates. They can change the intake or outlet manifold which can cause plumbing headaches. Or even discontinue the model.
 
Following along!
 
Alright so I decided to move the tank to where the 180 was...just a pump and heater right now.
I filled it up, added sand, built some rock structures (not easy), started cycling with dr. tims, soaked some media in that deep cycle bacteria stuff that came out recently, and followed the stages of a cycle. Then I moved my non-tangs over last weekend, and I just moved the tangs over this weekend.
I haven't moved any other equipment yet (lights, apex, skimmer, reactors, UV, etc) which of course I need to do before I move the corals...but we're getting there.

Awesome tank! Congrats on the new build.
I wish I had the room to go bigger
Thanks! Not 100% satisfied with the scape but I never am, since I still have some big pieces of rock in the 180 with coral attached, there will be some changes to the scape...first time I've built rock structures, was a lot more difficult than I anticipated
