Hey everybody! This past week I attached a 50 gallon aquarium to my 60 gallon aquarium. They are both plumbed into a 40 gallon sump. I think it came out amazing! Let me know what you think. I added the water to this tank 2 days ago and already have sps, lps and fish! Check out my instagram, TikTok or YouTube as I am more active on those platforms @reef.cloverson Lets chat!

Update:
It is now just two months after I added the 50-gallon tank to my display! Everything is thriving. We did face a significant diatom outbreak about a month in, but I managed to tackle it by increasing water flow, performing regular water changes, and introducing millions of copepods and phytoplankton into the tank.
I also added sand to the fifty gallon about two weeks ago, which made the bottom more reflective, less likely to grow diatoms, and made the aquarium look way better as a whole.
