Nice looking tank! In the process of setting up a large system. In your opinion what is the biggest hurdle with a larger tank, besides not enough money for coral. Lol.

Thank you. I think it would have to be waiting for it to cycle and really waiting for everything to start growing. Just make sure you have the right equipment as well. Protein skimmer that can handle the load but also not to powerful, make sure you have really good flow and No dead spots. You have a lot more rock, need a good amount of caves, swim room, and that can create dead spots .
Good luck to you.
How big are you going?

Total system is around 500 -550. Display will be a 180, sump is 250 ish, 50 frag and 40 Fuge. I have 150 lbs of rock been curing for 7 months. The 180 will get plumbed in to the system after everything else is up.
