New tank coming up! Much bigger than v1

[Hairyteeth]

Here is my nano tank that I have had for a little over two years, it’s been an excellent journey and absolutely love the hobby…and then my wife gave me the green light for a bigger tank and so the journey begins on my 150 gallon 5ft tank!

For a stand I had a tslot aluminum stand built by alufab, 3/4” plywood top and bottom and the sump is a sapphire trigger 44 gallon

Here is a shot of one piece of the rock structure that I built out of dry rock and epoxy. The rock has been cycling in tubs for three weeks now to get a jump start on things. Also is a pic of the plumping… it was my first time plumbing and man did I learn a lot from that experience, I actually redid it a couple times. I had issues with the stock bulkheads leaking and realized how hard it was to get to individual bulkheads so I routed each one slightly different so I could access each one for future needs. Long story short, got new bulkheads and we are officially leak free!

Like it so far, the euro bracing was what attracted me to it!

Added my sand and rocks as well as a few corals from the qt tank, added the first set of orpheks… planning on another two or3 bars and one kessil in the middle for shimmer, adding the kessil tomorrow as well as transferring more inhabitants from the 40 that is shutting down….first batch of fish will be out of qt in another month!

I’ll post some pictures later on today when the lights are on, it’s my late night tank….but stocking question, currently I have two clowns, hippo tang, fairy wrasse, firefish and two cardnals…everything has been quarantined and will continue to be.
I would like to get some recommendations on what fish you would add?
