Prostar 90 build thread and transfer of 25 gallon mixed reef.

Well as promised I will be sharing this tanks journey. Little history I have 25 gallon nano. This tank has been up and running for a year and a half. I had a great deal on a prostar 90. Which is 76 total volume and about 63 display as advertised. When the math is done though is will be about 65 display and I will be upgrading the sump to have a refugium. This is kinda a dream tank for me. I have been in the hobby about 14 years. The picture is my current 25 gallon nano. All occupants will be moved to the larger tank. No one left behind.
I have also as of late night finished plumbing and have test fit some of my equipment before I get the system wet. Pics to follow once I clean up a bit more.

Here it is I have test fit all the equipment and the tank is plumbed. Water very soon. I am currently trying to figure out where rock will go from the old to the new that is why there is very little dry Marco rock in the tank currently. I upgraded the sump to a proclear redflex reef 200. The stock sump is nice but smaller and no refugium. I will go over all the equipment a bit later after I have actually set it all up in apps and have it tuning in the sump with water.
