Hey guys I've been MIA for a little bit but now I'm back! Since then a few things have changed, improvements and departure of my previous systems.
As some of you have seen before, my 56G Reef Savvy build was nice but being OCD all of the mismatched and add on items got to me. You can check it out in the link below:

Last few images of the completed system before the full refit:
The itch came about when or rather I knew I had space for "just one more" tank. In addition to the 56G Reef Savvy tank, I wanted to add another 36x48x14 tank in the garage. With that in mind, more plumbing, sumps, etc as the previous system was all connected together for easy of maintaining the systems.
Plans and thoughts on the new system. My main goal was for one was to make more room for corals and to utilize every aspect of the system. From power consumption and efficiency to multiple systems that work together.
Display Tanks: 24x48x15, 36x48x14, 24x48x13 (All made by TankMe)
Sumps: 18x42x18, 31x47x16, x 18x36x18 (Me & @Mrx built them together)
Stands: 24x48x35, 36x48x36, 24x48x37 (Built by DougB Welding)
Return Pump: Jebao DCT15000
Skimmer: Bubble King Double Cone 250 +RD3
Lighting: Assortment, mainly T5/LED to MH/T5/LED combinations
Flow: Ecotech Vortech MP10s, MP40s, and a few Jebao Pumps
Controller: Neptune System Apex, DOS, AFS, lots of modules and power bars. Thanks @Terence
Misc: @SantaMonica Surf2 Algae Scrubber, Tunze ATO, BRS Doser,
It became official once the order was placed by a local tank builders and of course I had my local aluminum welder build the stand. Both are great people to work with and time again they have came through when the work was needed to be completed. Thanks to @Mrx, TankMe, & DougB Welding to name a few for the initial building of the system.
More to come, make sure you subscribe as I continue the journey.
