Bear with me guys, I've never done a build thread before so feel free to ask for what I'm not providing or tell me to knock it off with things you don't want to see or hear about.
The tank is a 72 gallon bowfront with a 20 gallon sump. Equipment I'll be using:
Here's a photo of the aquascaping I did yesterday, but not loving it so will probably make some changes next time I get a day off.
It's been a while since I've started a new tank from scratch so I'm doing lots of reading and research on what may have changed since the last time. I went with less sand than I usually do in the display tank, but put more than I usually do in the refugium section of the sump. Hoping that will be the best of both worlds; shallow sand bed and deep sand bed.
Stay tuned!

The tank is a 72 gallon bowfront with a 20 gallon sump. Equipment I'll be using:
Remora Aqua C protein skimmer (have had it for 10 years, still love it).- Current USA eFlux DC Flow Pump, 1050 GPH. Brand new, so far really liking it.
Vortech 40 for water movement.- Icecap Gyre 3K for water movement.
- Lumini Pixie 30 Full Spectrum lamp (2, being delivered tomorrow).
- Heater (will only be used if room temp gets cold - seahorses are better in 72 degree water)
- Possibly a UV filter, depending on need.
