Reefer 450, Done collecting :) Time to make the transfer

[antnida]

Hello fellow reefers. I been in the hobby for a while now starting out something small then quickly got really big, backed down to something small, now it's time to switch to something in the middle. Here is a picture of my old tank from many years ago.

My current 60 gal.

Brought the Reefer 450 from another reefer. Got a few days left to finish with plumbing, mounting all the equipment and leak test. Sat. would be the day to make the switch before my schedule bz up again.

I am planning to mount all the power heads in the back wall.

The tank already came with the manifold and I am planing to use it as is. Salvage my Aqua UV from my larger tank. Previous owner used the top off as a refugium and Biofilter media balls. I'll be running the tank bare bottom. I am not sure at this point to run a refugium and the Biofilter media balls or not. Suggestion are wellcome.
