So after a year and a half with my current setup, it was time for an upgrade. I currently have a Marineland 55 gallon with very poor dimensions. This was a gift given to me, so I took advantage of it before buying a better tank. I have always wanted a rimless tank, and with all the BF deals I couldn't help myself not to buy a NUVO EXT 75. I was looking at similar tanks such as the Waterbox and Red Sea, but ultimately the NUVO was better for me and my pocket. The tank has been ordered and waiting for it to ship. I have ordered the items I will need for the plumbing. This is going to be my first time plumbing, so I may need help. I should also mention than I am about to be 21 years young so yeah I have no experience plumbing whatsoever. Okay now moving on to the equipment I will be using for this build. Keep in mind this is the equipment I am currently using and will adjust as needed.
This will be an LPS dominated tank with some SPS. All my current livestock will be moved to the new tank once I get it going.

I will be updating regularly as my new equipment comes in. Thanks for reading my post and welcome to my new adventure!!
