Renton's Evolution from 200 to 440 gallons

I just want my tank to look half as good as yours and its being a pain in my butt!! lol made some recent investments hoping to see if i can get it to turn around!
 
Got a new sump setup to install this weekend. It will probably be a bear to install but should help save me on maintenance in the long run. Its going to be a messy weekend



 
You've got some work cut out for you. Why did you got with a 3 section sump? I'm just curious because I've never seen one like it before. Tank is looking good as always, good luck on the install!

I wanted a larger sump but there is no way I would be able to get it in the stand in one piece. So I had it built in three sections. I am hoping I can get the old one out in one piece :)
 
It was a major project to get this sump in, but it is finally up and running. So far so good!

 
Great job man and nice sump!
 
Simply an amazing video of those sweepers of death...lost many nice corals to sweepers before. Amazing reef and very nice new sump too!
 
LoL love the music choices. Don't you just love how there's always a super long creepy tenticle! And that poor beat up yellow tang comes over and is like HECK NO, I'm outta here! And in the other vid I first thought it was a turbo snail, but is it some type of nudi?

Thanks Tim! I have had to move a few corals already and by the looks of it, I have to move a few more.

It is a type of limpet.

Sump came out great man. Looks amazing :)

Thanks, I am very happy with the sump!
